Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Recommendation 9
As regards existing installations the date for submission of the Safety Case should be laid down by regulation. There is an urgent need for the submission of Safety Cases, but the date should be selected by the regulatory body. The regulatory body should have the power, in the event of the failure of an operator to submit an acceptable Safety Case, to require the operator to take whatever remedial action it considered necessary, including requiring the installation to be shut down (paras 17.44-45).
