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.

Training

Our process safety courses are based on current best practice with many practical examples, which can be aligned to particular industry applications.
