Industrial safety
Risk analysis of complex technological systems: from hazard identification to decision support, using established and innovative methodologies.
What we offer
Six methodological areas for process risk
Risk analysis of process plants and complex technological systems, through established and innovative analysis techniques.
Hazard and risk identification
- HazOp – Hazard and Operability Studies, using classic techniques (guide words) and advanced techniques (Recursive Operability Analysis)
- FMECA – Failure Modes and Effect Analysis
- Safety Audits
- Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)
- Hazard Identification Analysis (HazId)
Quantification of occurrence probabilities
- Fault trees (Fault Tree Analysis – FTA)
- Event trees (Event Tree Analysis – ETA)
- Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
- Integrated Dynamic Decision Analysis (IDDA)
Consequence assessment
- Mathematical modelling of explosions, dispersions and fires
- Consequences of BLEVE, UVCE, CVE and thermal radiation (pool and jet fires)
Risk representation and decision support
- Layer Of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
- Bow-Tie Analysis
- Integrated Dynamic Decision Analysis (IDDA)
Land-use planning
- Land-use planning for companies (Italian Ministerial Decree of Public Works of 9 May 2001)
- Support to municipalities: environmental and land-use compatibility of activities at risk of major accident (RIR Technical Report)
Operational experience analysis
- Analysis of accidents, near misses and anomalies in support of risk assessment
- Analysis of unsafe behaviours and conditions for preventive purposes
