Consultancy Services

bulletChair and administrate Hazard Identification Studies
bulletFormulate, Chair and Administrate formal Safety Integrity Level (SIL) studies to determine the required integrity specification for automated control systems
bulletFormulate, Chair and Administrate formal Layers of Protection Analyses (LOPA)
bulletAnalyse system architectures and configurations and determine if the functional safety and system integrity has been realised and meets the required specification
bulletProvide third party Functional Safety Assessments ensuring that the required safety is attained and is sustainable by good procedures of documentation and maintenance.
bulletAnalyse systems  to determine system Fault Mode and the effect of failure (FMEA)
bulletAlarm Management Studies to determine the required efficient and safe response of operators to system information and alarms
bulletDetermine Alarm System Philosophy and strategy to reduce the risk of operator information overload and unsafe response to system information.
bulletApplication of proven successful techniques already practiced within the industry, for identifying and reducing the number of nuisance alarm activations.
bulletReview of the control Room. Alarm management is about improving the ability of the control room operator to effectively carryout his responsibilities under all possible conditions. A review of the control room can help determine improvements that help the operator carryout his role with maximum efficiency and least stress.
bulletSystem studies to determine and compile  operator response manual
