# The Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations 2005, Regulation 11: Safety case for dismantling fixed installation


(1) The operator of a fixed installation shall ensure that it is not dismantled unless—
(a) he has prepared revisions to the current safety case containing, subject to paragraph (2), the particulars specified in regulation 12 and Schedule 5 not contained in the current safety case for that installation;
(b) he has sent a version of the current safety case which incorporates the proposed revisions, showing clearly where they are to be made, to the Executive at least 3 months (or such shorter period as the Executive may specify) before the commencement of the dismantling; and
(c) the Executive has accepted those revisions to the current safety case.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall only require the particulars in the proposed revisions to the current safety case to describe the matters referred to in that paragraph to the extent that it is reasonable to expect the operator to address them at the time of sending the proposed revisions to the Executive.
(3) Where there is a material change in any of the particulars notified pursuant to paragraph (1) prior to the Executive deciding whether to accept the proposed revisions to the current safety case, the operator shall notify the Executive of that change as soon as practicable.
(4) In this regulation, “operator”, in relation to a fixed installation, means—
(a) the person appointed by the licensee to manage and control directly or by any other person the execution of dismantling a fixed installation; or
(b) the licensee, where—
(i) it is not clear to the Executive that one person has been appointed to perform the functions described in paragraph (a); or
(ii) in the opinion of the Executive, any person appointed to perform the functions specified in paragraph (a) is incapable of performing those functions satisfactorily.
