Tapora has been assigned to projects related to system safety engineering, including flight safety assessments, in various ATM projects for an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP). 

The system safety engineering projects include the completion of a flight safety assessments and completed as safety cases for each project. This in turn includes a Safety plan, Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Preliminary System Safety Assessment, System Safety Assessment, Hazard log and finally the Safety case. The flight safety assessment has been nased on Eurocontrols Safety Assessment Method (SAM). From January 2020 all safety assessments are complaint with the regulation 2017/373 – requirements for providers of ATM/ANS and other ATM network functions and their oversight.

Project included a management seminar regarding incident investigation development. Project includes developing the incident management process as well as providing incident investigation training.

Tapora has been involved in the design of a new facility in the nuclear related industry as a Human Factors Engineering (HFE) advisor. The aim of the project is to encapsulate spent nuclear fuel in copper canisters before its final disposal. This in line with the nuclear power program philosophy of continuously upgrading safety requirements as a driving force for development. This project will involve building a new encapsulation plant.

Project Manager and Human Factors expert for the Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) for a nuclear power plant shutdown period completed in 2011.

Qualitative risk analysis related to the introduction of one-man operated trains on the local route in a nordic country.

Human Factors expert in the EXAM-HRA research project. The EXAM-HRA was a Nordic and German project assessing human reliability analysis (HRA) applications in existing probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) studies. The overall project objective was to provide guidance for a ”state of the art” HRA to ensure that plant specific properties are properly taken into consideration in the analysis.

Qualitative risk analysis investigation related to a portable dead-man’s handle in the drivers cabin utilizing a CRIOP-analysis.

The assignment includes, among other things, a communication plan addressed from management to all personnel on site as well as globally related to the management of the consequences of pandemic due to the Corona virus..

Internal revision of the JAR-OPS 3 flight operations management system.

Outlining Risk Management in a chemical process plant.

Crisis management training for the leadership team at a dairy plant in Sweden. The training included a desk exercise with different scenarios with different training purposes. We ended with a report that included things that worked well and things that could be improved.

Development of a new and updated Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) method for a nuclear power plant operator within the framework of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA).

The purpose of the HAZID study was to identify possible hazards for a new medical technology system whose functional purpose is to decontaminate rooms contaminated with viruses, bacteria, germs, toxic mold and spores. The purpose of the study was also to generate a set of recommendations / measures to eliminate or minimize the identified hazards. The results from the HAZID study were summarized in a HAZID report which presented a number of measures which in turn are followed up and shut down by the client.
