Both authorities and public are increasingly critical about the environmental and safety performance of businesses. Therefore we serve the Process and Chemical Industry with the adequate studies to achieve sustainable solutions with respect to the technical installations, workforce/personnel, the inhabitants in the surroundings of the site and the environment.
Evaluation and improvement of process safety is an important step, which begins at the design stage, but this remains also applicable for existing plants and should be covered in a management of change procedure. We can carry out studies to identify, mitigate or eliminate and/or potential hazards and advise on how to achieve this.
We advise in mitigating and eliminating the risks of your activities for the surroundings of your plant (external safety) but also safety on the site (occupational safety and health) with our studies. The experts of Process and Chemical Industry can provide you with the technical and procedural knowledge of e.g. Quantitative Risk Analysis, fire and explosion protection and risk management and carry out accident investigations.
Services- Safety studies: HAZOP (HAzard and Operability), What-if , SIL (Safety and Integrity Level) and LOPA (Layers of Protection Analysis) for industrial installations
- Hazard Identification studies
- Hazardous Area Classification of industrial installations, according to ATEX (ATmosphère Explosible)
- Risk Inventory and Evaluation study with respect to gas and dust explosion
- Quantitative Risk Analysis and Risk Assessment studies for spatial development with Safety (stationary installation with hazardous materials), according to requirements of Seveso II, RBM II (transport of hazardous materials) and pipeline transport
- Study on potential accident scenarios, effects and consequences for spatial development, and site layout (e.g. heat radiation with respect to location of flare, fire-explosion and intoxication hazards, control room, jetty, tank storage, critical installation parts and layout of an industrial installation, housing etc)
- Fire safety studies for storage of chemical goods (e.g. PGS 15, 29 and firewater requirement according to e.g. NFPA)
- Occupational safety and health studies
- Accident investigation in industrial installations
- Expert opinion and second opinion with respect to fire and explosion safety
- Safety and Energy audits
- Training in risk management
