Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment done properly
Effective process safety begins with rigorous hazard identification and risk evaluation. Our specialists facilitate and deliver:
- HAZID (Hazard Identification Study)
- HazOp (Hazard and Operability Study)
- LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis)
- Process safety strategy, including process safety management
- Expert training in all of these areas
- Independent challenge, technical review and auditing
Hazard and risk assessment should not be a standalone exercise; It is the foundation of safe design, operations, and management of change. Our approach ensures that recommendations are realistic, proportionate and embedded within operational reality - not left as theoretical outputs in a report.
We apply proven, up-to-date methodologies supported by our proprietary tools and structured facilitation techniques. Each study is conducted with technical discipline, clear documentation and actionable outputs that withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Regulatory clarity coupled with practical delivery
Our consultants have detailed knowledge of process safety standards and regulatory expectations. More importantly, we understand how to apply them effectively within live industrial environments.
Our work is defined by:
- Technical rigour
- Adherence to standards (notably the functional safety standard IEC 61511)
- Clear communication
- Independent checking and verification
- Practical, useful outcomes
We Do It Right - because in process safety, there is no acceptable alternative.
