Summary
Guidance for users, suppliers and integrators addresses automated drilling machinery and tubular handling. It explains system-wide hazard identification through HAZOP, FMEA, FMECA and collision or contention matrices, alongside safety-function specification and integrity assessment. Fifteen incident examples illustrate shortcomings in design, protective systems, software management and operator interfaces.
