CASA is a tool for performing safety audit for
plant of any size and nature. It is based on questionnaire with a
rating system. It will reduce the time required for management of
data collected during safety audit, and thus the auditor can
concentrate more on the audit.
Safety Audit is the easiest tool in hand of safety professionals
to check the performance of the safety programs, and CASA is the
best tool in hand of safety professionals to automate this
process.

CASA support three systems of
Safety Audit
Option I
This system is based on questionnaire with weightage criteria i.e.
Poor, Fair, Good and Excellent assigned to all questions. User
shall assign the ratings to all questions as per the safety
systems existing in their plant. The questionnaire along with
rating and remarks of the auditor can be printed and used in audit
report. This system gives a quantitative rating to the plant
safety systems and can be used to compare the safety systems of
two plants.
Option II
This system is based on questionnaire with variable rating
assigned to questions. User has to assign the maximum marks for
all questions in “Assign Question Weightage” form User has to
assign accredited marks to questions based on the safety systems.
This questionnaire along with remarks and marks accredited by
auditor during audit can be printed and used in audit report.
Plant Inspection Audit
This systems is based on the round of plant, taken by auditor, and
his remarks on the safety systems, including software and
hardware, and suggestions for improvement.
Analysis
Analysis of Option I is based on weightage criteria i.e. Poor,
Fair, Good and Excellent assigned to the questions by the auditor
while performing audit.
Analysis of Option II is based on the “Performance Grading System”
based on colour codes. Colour coding provided for rating analysis
is same as used to measure capital market performance, like Dow
Jones, or the financial strength of individual enterprises, like
S&P ratings. Grading is as follows:
|
Rating |
Grade |
Color Code |
| 85 - 100 |
A+ |
Gold |
| 70 - 85 |
A
|
Green |
| 55 - 70 |
B
|
Blue |
| 40 – 55 |
D
|
Red |
| Less than 40% |
F
|
Black |
Rating A and A+ represent a system where system is
working as per best practices and improvements are possible only
by major system changes. Where as B, D and F represent a system
where lacunas exist in system in almost all functional areas of
systems and major improvements are possible.
User can group the questions in Grid by dragging the column group
in the space at the top of the Grid. This type of grouping will
help to the elements, sub-elements and questions under the
following headings:
For Option I
• Rating (Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent)
• Marks accredited
• Maximum points
For Option II
• Rating (A+, A, B, D and F)
• Remarks
• Maximum marks
• Marks Accredited User can toggle the preview of remarks in grid as well as legends
and marks in charts.
Comparison of two Audits
User can compare two safety audits, which were carried out in
CASA. This comparison helps when there are number of plants whose
performance is to be compared or the same plants performance is to
be compared for two years (safety audits carried out in CASA
only). Apart from final rating, the rating in Option I, colour
rating in Option II and questionnaires used in two audits can be
compared. Two audits can also be compared with respect to
questions, where there is improvement or degradation with respect
to another audit. The differences in questionnaire can also be
analyzed.
