Management systems have had long widespread acceptance in many industries for various applications: notably, quality, safety, and environment. In recent years, the North American onshore pipeline industry has started adopting management system principles for the management of pipeline integrity. This paper discusses the rationale for adopting a systems approach to safety and presents a safety and loss management system template that may be used for the full life cycle of a pipeline, from concept to abandonment.
