ASCE and DM Kineton
We felt that the standard ‘three legged’ model suggested by
Adelard did not work well for Kineton. We are too large, with
too many disparate parts.
We therefore ‘mind mapped’ why our site was safe, splitting it
into functional areas.
The safety case is not complete.

What does ASCE do for us?
• 
Identifies weak areas
• 
Those with no evidence –
is it because it isn’t
happening or you can’t
prove it is happening
• 
In short, it helps assure us,
and others, that our site is
safe

What does ASCE do for us?
• 
Assists us in audits by
showing weak areas
and by collating all
proof into one place
which can be send to
the auditor in html /
VML format.
• 
With MOSS they can
look at the evidence
without visiting you
• 
Saves time and money

Conclusions

It is a more open way of working.
• 
It is a central area for information about the DM Kineton.
• 
It helps to prepare for and present evidence for audits.
Including reports
• 
It is still in powerful tool. You can use it for things it wasn’t
designed for – organisational diagrams?
