E.S.M. engineers are available to review design documentation, plan, facilitate and document (record) HAZOP studies.
E.S.M. workshop facilitators successfully draw upon participant experience to achieve workshop objectives in an energetic and collaborative manner.
HAZOP studies are conducted in accordance AS IEC 61882, Hazard and operability studies (HAZOP studies) – Application guide.
A HAZOP is a structured technique for examining a design or system to identify hazards and potential operability issues, through consideration of deviations from design intent.
A HAZOP aims to:
HAZOP workshops involve a multidisciplinary team, led by a Facilitator, systematically examining all parts of a design or system. Deviations from the design intent are identified and recorded, using a set of guide words.
HAZOPs help to provide an understanding of potential adverse consequences and how these consequences can be avoided through process design / redesign.
E.S.M. recently facilitated a 4-day Detailed Design HAZOP for a major upgrade project on a minerals processing plant. E.S.M. worked with the owner, engineering service provider and vendors to facilitate the HAZOP in multiple sessions in line with progression of the design.
For a large infrastructure client, E.S.M. conducted a comprehensive Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) study for a safety-critical asset type.
E.S.M. developed a system for safe work on high-voltage rotating plant, which was a new asset type for the client. The system included governance, rules and procedures. E.S.M. delivered a comprehensive manual with accompanying forms and templates.
E.S.M. has been engaged by a client in the mining and mineral processing industry to assist with a thorough review of instrumentation and control systems
E.S.M. facilitated a series of Safety in Design (SiD) Review workshops to support the expansion of a remote Australian mining operation.
Providing specialist safety in design services, E.S.M. assisted a client with a significant upgrade to its Energy Management System (EMS).
