A Lifecycle Approach to Process Safety
At Integrated Consultants for Health & Safety LLC, we understand that managing process safety is not a single event, but a continuous journey that evolves with your project. Our services are structured to support you at every critical stage, ensuring that safety is built-in, not just bolted on.
We partner with you to identify hazards early, analyze risks in detail, and manage them effectively throughout the life of your facility. Explore our core consulting services below to see how we can help you achieve process safety excellence.
Early Design & Conceptual Safety
These services are most effective during the early stages of a project (Feasibility, Concept, FEED) to influence the design for inherent safety and regulatory compliance.
A high-level, systematic review to identify all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) at the earliest stage of a project. This proactive approach leads to safer, more cost-effective design choices by addressing critical risks before significant investment is made.
The environmental counterpart to HAZID, this review systematically identifies potential impacts on the environment from emissions, discharges, and waste. It is essential for ensuring environmental compliance and promoting a sustainable design from day one.
The most proactive safety approach, an Inherently Safer Design (ISD) review challenges the design to eliminate or reduce hazards at their source, rather than just adding controls. This creates a facility that is fundamentally safer, simpler, and more robust.
Detailed Design & In-Depth Analysis
As your project matures and detailed designs become available, we employ rigorous, systematic techniques to analyze your process and its protective systems in detail.
The industry-standard for detailed process hazard analysis. Our expert-led HAZOP workshops systematically examine your Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) to identify every potential deviation from the design intent that could lead to safety or operability problems.
A critical functional safety study to ensure your automated safety systems are reliable enough to work when needed. We use the Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) method to determine the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for your Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs), in full compliance with IEC 61511.
Risk Management & Communication
Understanding and controlling your risks is paramount. This service focuses on visualizing and managing your key safety barriers to ensure they remain effective throughout the operational phase.
A powerful and intuitive graphical method for risk management. Bow-Tie diagrams provide a clear, one-page picture of a major risk scenario, showing the threats, consequences, and the critical barriers you rely on to keep your facility safe. It is an exceptional tool for communication and auditing.
