In the beginning of 1991, after a number of discussions with the Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) for the Channel Tunnel and the Safety Authority (SA), it was decided that EUROTUNNEL (ET) would carry out a general study of the transport System to use the Channel Tunnel Fixed Link. The basis for this said report was to be drawn from the results of the Avant-Projets already submitted to the IGC, from the existing Safety Reports and from a Quantified Risk Assessment as well as from Risk Criteria. The final version of the Safety Case Report aims to present a comprehensive assessment of the design and operational safety of the Channel Tunnel Fixed Link, taking into account identified hazards and related risk quantification.
