Services
Risk Assessment Studies
We conduct comprehensive risk assessments including HazOp, Layer of Protection Analysis, and Fault Tree Studies. Our F-Q Curve methodology addresses environmental risks for complex sites. Deliverables focus on actionable mitigation strategies aligned with regulatory requirements and operational realities.
DSEAR/ATEX Compliance
Our DSEAR/ATEX services include zone classification, inspection protocols, and compliance strategies. We develop targeted approaches that balance safety requirements with operational efficiency, avoiding unnecessary inspection burdens while maintaining compliance with explosive atmosphere regulations.
Functional Safety (SIL)
We support the entire safety lifecycle from SIL determination to validation. Services include risk graph analysis, design verification, and PFD/PFH calculations. Our pragmatic approach eliminates unnecessary complexity while ensuring compliance with IEC 61508/61511 standards.
Process Control
Specialising in time-domain analysis, we optimise control strategies using techniques like feedforward and constraint control. Our solutions enhance process efficiency through existing system configuration, drawing on decades of expertise influenced by process control pioneer Greg Shinskey.
COMAH Support
We assist COMAH installations with safety reports and Competent Authority submissions. Our experience with major clients includes developing EC&I compliance strategies and safety documentation that meets regulatory expectations while supporting operational objectives.
