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. specialises in the facilitation and delivery of Safety in Design (SiD) Review workshops. This is our most sought-after service.
We plan, facilitate and document (record) SiD Reviews.
Our SiD Reviews look at a design and systematically identify hazards through the analysis of asset interfaces (human-to-asset, asset-to-environment, asset-to-asset), at each life cycle phase, establishing hazard cause and credibility. A “reasonably practicable decision-making process” as well as the Hierarchy of Controls is applied to determine appropriate control measures.
The output of a SiD Review Workshop is a populated SiD Hazard Register and Action List.
A SiD Review is usually conducted as a consultative workshop.
E.S.M. is experienced in facilitating SiD Review workshops and is able to successfully draw upon participant experience to achieve workshop objectives in an energetic and collaborative manner.
E.S.M. provides a workshop facilitator as well as an experienced workshop scribe.
Dependent on project or design scale, scope and complexity, SiD Review workshops can run for 3-4 hours up to several days.
E.S.M. offers training in the facilitation of SiD Review Workshops, for organisations wanting to build an in-house facilitation capability.

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.
