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. undertook a safety assessment of unauthorised and unintended public use of waterfront assets, applying a hazard-based methodology aligned with WHS principles and balanced site-security objectives.
Following a near-miss incident during plant sanitisation activities, a specialist sanitisation contractor engaged E.S.M. to undertake a comprehensive engineering study into the electrical safety risks associated with high-pressure jet washing of electrical equipment.
E.S.M. supported a supplier of overseas designed and manufactured mining machinery to demonstrate machine compliance with Australian WHS requirements and standards.
E.S.M. provided independent electrical design verification and functional safety assessment to support the design registration of a Mine Winder in New South Wales.
E.S.M. conducted a Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) study, along with supporting safety assessments, for a 7.5 MW stand-by diesel generator system designed by a specialist power systems and equipment supplier.
E.S.M. recently completed an independent Confirmation Review of Concept Phase activities for an electrified vehicle system for heavy vehicles.
