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.
Harnessing E.S.M.’s diverse experience of Safety in Design within the electrical industry and track record with Solar and BESS projects, our client requested that E.S.M. facilitate a Safety in Design review workshop for a major BESS project in South Australia.
The presentation collated findings from numerous Safety in Design activities conducted by E.S.M. in the context of standalone solar or Battery Energised Storage System (BESS) and integrated Solar-BESS.
On behalf of our client, E.S.M. has been engaged to independently facilitate a series of Safety in Design reviews utilising the CHAIR process on a major piece of civil infrastructure.
In collaboration with a key client, E.S.M. devised a model and framework to assess and reduce the risks associated with dropped objects from conveyors.
E.S.M. provided functional safety engineering services to a local automotive manufacturer in their development of a fully electric light vehicle for a mine site in NSW.
E.S.M. was engaged to conduct a Safety in Design review on a new boarding school for primary-aged indigenous children on a remote island.
The review was conducted face-to-face with the architects, system designers and representatives of the prospective school board.
