Failure Mode and Effect Analyses (FMEA) is a comprehensive tool used to identify potential failure mechanisms and determine the predicted effects.

At RAS we are experienced, in the facilitation and development of FMEA in a range of different applications across different sectors. FMEA is a flexible tool that we can utilise to help you understand the reliability of key components or critical steps in your process. We recommend FMEA where you want to understand the safety, reliability, and quality implications of equipment failures.

The output from an FMEA will provide value insights to inform maintenance regimes and feed into further risk analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hazard identification and why is it important?

Hazard identification is the name given to the process of evaluating process and systems, to identify potential causes that could result in hazardous consequences.We specialise in helping our clients understand and manage complex risk. Only once your hazards are properly understood, can they be managed.

Hazard identification is the bedrock of risk assessment. If the hazard identification technique is incorrect or quality of the study is poor, then all risk analysis, assessments and decisions made based on those studies are of equally low quality, and you cannot be sure that your risks are appropriately managed

What does COMAH compliance require?

A key area of our expertise is compliance with the requirements of the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations 2015, which are designed to minimise the risk of major accidents involving dangerous substances, to protect both people and the environment.

Operators of COMAH sites, whether they are a Lower or Upper Tier, must demonstrate that they have taken all measures necessary to minimise the risk of major accidents.

Aspects required under COMAH include a Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP), a robust risk assessment, emergency response procedures and for upper tier sites, a COMAH safety report.

We can work with you to develop a bespoke plan that is the right fit for you and proportionate to the level of risk and scale of your operations.

How does RAS tailor their studies to specific project needs?
