Our work
Some may view process safety as a cost burden but we believe that carrying out the right type of process safety work at the right time reduces project costs and leads to overall cost savings in the operational life of an asset.
We have assisted major oil & gas companies, EPC contractors and other international clients on a broad range of issues involving industrial hazards. That included upstream and downstream oil & gas, chemicals, conventional power generation and renewables.
Please enquire for HAZOP facilitation, expert witness assistance, incident investigation, process safety training and independent practical advice on a range of other assurance services. We will attend to it PDQ.

Areas of expertise
We offer independent advice on any matter relating to the management of health, safety and environmental risk on a range of issues including:
Incident Investigation
We can provide a complete investigation service or an independent assessment of accidents and near miss reports to identify underlying issues needing to be addressed.
Expert Witness
We have given evidence on process engineering and process safety matters at arbitration hearings related to design and construction disputes
Due Diligence
Our knowledge of how process plants are designed allows us to quantify and explain the technical, economic and safety risks to non-technical stakeholders.
Technical Support
We can provide general mentoring support or assist you with detailed technical advice on different options for dealing with specific process safety concerns.
Process Safety
We provide practical guidance, analysis and facilitation resources for hazard identification, hazard analysis and risk assessment studies.
Case Studies
You can get an idea of what PDQ does by browsing case studies in the sections below for examples of our consultants work. Each case study includes an overview of the project and our involvement, as well as a summary of the results.
Incident Investigation
If your organisation has suffered an industrial incident, you'll want to get to the root of the problem quickly...
Gap Analysis
International projects often work under more than one regulatory regime. This can result in differences of approach, misunderstanding and non-compliant designs.
Due Diligence
Project stakeholders need to be assured that all significant HSE risks have been identified and are manageable.
Provision of Study Personnel
We have a strong track record in successfully carrying out a range of HAZOP, HAZID and related studies, lasting from one day up to several weeks, and can provide the following resources at international locations.
- Team Leader for HAZOP, HAZID, SIL/LOPA studies
- Independent Process Engineer for HAZOP
- Expert Witness for process and safety engineering.
- Incident Investigator.
- Technical Risk Assessor
- In-house Trainer
- Process Safety mentor
