Functional Safety: Electric Light Vehicle
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. 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.

In recent years, E.S.M. has assisted numerous clients to implement a Safety in Design process for their business. To comply with their duties under the Work Health and Safety Act (or the Occupational Health and Safety Act in Victoria), companies should have an end-to-end Safety in Design process.

E.S.M. has recently been involved with two rail projects: one to conduct signalling project management for a level-crossing removal project and the other to analyse the performance of automatic train protection (ATP) on a line that has issues with poor on-time-running performance.
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.
