Safety-case thinking, performance standards, and reliability criteria for oil & gas plants, refineries, fertilizer facilities, and petrochemical operations.
Protecting people, assets, production, and reputation from major-accident events
A living demonstration that major hazards are identified, risks are tolerable and ALARP, and controls are implemented, maintained, and verified.
Clear, testable requirements for each safety-critical barrier: function, availability, response time, survivability, and assurance frequency.
Asset integrity, inspection, proof testing, maintenance, and management of degradation keep critical safeguards capable on demand.
Bow-tie controls, process hazard analysis, emergency preparedness, incident learning, and management of change close the loop.
A practical operating cycle for high-consequence facilities
HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA, consequence analysis, and bow-tie mapping define credible major-accident scenarios.
→Convert risk controls into performance standards with measurable functional and reliability criteria.
→Engineer, maintain, operate, and train against the defined barriers. No critical control without an owner.
→Audit, inspect, proof-test, and trend barrier health. Demonstrate that controls work when demanded.
→Feed incidents, near-misses, deviations, and degradation data back into the safety case and standards.
