Holistic Process Safety Support – from cradle to grave
RAS support a range of clients at different points in their operational timespan from brand new facilities through to aging assets
The Challenge?
As we move towards achieving net zero, our industry faces new and evolving challenges. The innovative technologies and processes create unknowns without precedent in existing industry or substantial operating experience to learn from. The new materials to be adopted with the decarbonisation process have distinct chemical properties and behaviours which need to be understood so that the risks of handling them can be appropriately managed. There will also be a number of new entrants moving into the realm of process safety who lack the experience and knowledge of working within high hazard industries.
What can we do?
In order to effectively manage these developments, we believe that the existing toolkit for risk management should be implemented by applying established techniques in process safety management to evaluate the novel hazards involved. For new technologies, utilising recognised tools can support effective risk management to build our understanding as an industry.
Whole Lifecycle Support
RAS support a range of clients at different points in their operational timespan, from brand new facilities through to aging assets. Different techniques and studies are applied at each stage within a plant lifetime, reflecting the unique risk to be managed throughout an establishment timeline. The start of the timeline may constitute pilot plants, new development projects through to brand new facilities, and the risk management approach should be proportional to the risk and level of complexity – very complex plants with a higher risk profile will require a greater level of detail in any assessment versus a smaller, more straightforward process with low risk.
RAS provide cradle to grave process safety support to our clients, from new entrants to high hazard industries through to operators of aging assets in legacy industries.
