SYSTEM FOR MONITORING SAFETY PROTOCOLS
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring safety related procedures relating to specific components in a facility, the system comprising:
- a safety operator user interface for providing a safety operator with alarms and information relating to a plurality of components in said facility;
a database of safety related documents, said documents being accessed by said user interface to determine if safety procedures for said plurality of components are being implemented;
a safety calculation module for calculating risk levels and for graphically presenting said risk levels to said safety operator through said user interface using a color coded system, said risk levels being related to a probability of at least one consequence occurring in the event safety procedures for said plurality of components are not implemented.

Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring safety procedures for an industrial facility. A user interface for a safety operator interfaces with a database containing safety documents for components installed and in use in the industrial facility. The user interface also interfaces with a safety calculation module that calculates the risk level for specific potential consequences if specific safety procedures are not implemented. Whenever a potentially unsafe situation occurs, the risk levels associated with the potential consequences of the unsafe situation are presented to the safety operator along with contingencies which may be implemented to alleviate the risks. Past potentially unsafe situations are also presented to the safety operator by way of a time line such that a historical record of the safety of the facility can be taken in at a glance.
