PROCESS SAFETY SERVICES

Our certified PHA staff can help you and your team prepare for and document a PHA at the design stage, prior to startup, and during re-validations. We can develop a tracking and prioritization system to resolve PHA findings. Our team can lead your Hazards and Operability (HAZOP) studies, What-If Analyses, Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA), Fault Tree Analyses (FTA) and Event Tree Analyses (ETA).

Process safety needs evolve throughout the lifecycle of a facility—from design to decommissioning. In addition to stated regulatory compliance mandates, process safety programs should reflect the current state of the facility. Our process safety management consulting is available to provide a full audit team or a subject matter expert to lead an internal team.

For a complete Process Safety Management program, all potential impacts need to be analyzed. We will help identify and perform a Level of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Safety Instrumented System (SIS) analyses for ISA S84.01 or IEC-61511 compliance, and Security Vulnerability Analysis.

Through on-site training or customized online learning, our team can help your staff keep current on a wide range of process safety training topics. Ongoing training is a cornerstone of a robust safety culture and we can help with its introduction as well.

Our forensics expertise enables us to investigate process failures and industrial incidents and provide litigation support. With our demonstrated track record, we can support your team in understanding the cause and origin of process failures and establish corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Effective facility and process design is the foundation for protecting your staff from possible effects of hazardous materials. We will conduct a Job Hazard Analysis in conformance with NFPA 2113 to help determine the appropriate level of protection in each hazardous area, including the adequacy of personal protective equipment (PPE).
