Process Safety

Safety is at the forefront of Process Group's approach. Whether considering safe design for new facilities or identifying and reducing risks for existing plants, Process Group provides the necessary process safety expertise.

With consequence modelling capability we can provide a full assessment of risk and provide practical solutions for risk reduction to SFAIRP. We can advise on compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act, specialising in the Major Hazard Facilities regulations.

We have extensive experience in flare system and depressurising system design. We provide fire protection system design expertise to international codes and practice, including fire risk assessment and fire protection equipment performance testing.
