FAQ

8 questions. 8 straight answers.

What is included in the 5-year AMC retainer?

+

Annual HAZOP refresh, arc flash recalculation when load grows above 8% or topology changes, SIL recertification at year 3, OISD / PESO / OSHA audit support, on-call Chartered Engineer access for incident response (24-hour SLA), and pre-startup safety review chairing for any in-period brownfield modification.

Which arc flash standards do you cite?

+

IEEE 1584-2018 for arc flash incident energy calculation, NFPA 70E (2024) for the workplace electrical safety requirements and warning label format, IS 13234 for India statutory equivalent, and IEC 61482 for arc-rated PPE selection. Calculations validated against the ETAP power system model.

Are HAZOPs chaired by a CEng MIE or PE?

+

Yes. India HAZOPs chaired by a staff CEng MIE India. US OSHA PSM Process Hazard Analyses chaired through the Houston entity by a PE-credentialed safety lead. International (GCC + EU + AUS) engagements chaired by a CEng who carries the equivalent local recognition.

What SIL framework do you use?

+

IEC 61511 (process sector) + IEC 61508 (electronic / electrical / programmable electronic safety systems). LOPA is the primary SIL determination methodology, with risk graph as a screening tool. Fault tree analysis for SIL-3 systems and above.

Do you handle OISD, PESO, OSHA PSM and Factories Act audits?

+

Yes. OISD-118 (process plant safety), OISD-145 (Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis), OISD-153 (emergency response), PESO Petroleum Rules 2002, OSHA 1910.119 PSM, EPA RMP, and Factories Act statutory inspections are all in scope. Audit support is the most-used line item in the 5-year AMC retainer.

How long does a typical engagement run?

+

Single-unit HAZOP: 3 to 5 weeks. Full plant HAZOP refresh: 6 to 10 weeks. Arc flash study: 4 to 8 weeks. QRA: 6 to 10 weeks. LOPA + SIL: 4 to 6 weeks. Safety audit: 2 to 4 weeks. 5-year AMC retainer: 60 months with quarterly cadence reviews.

Is the AMC retainer a fixed annual fee?

+

Yes. The 5-year AMC retainer is a fixed annual fee covering all routine deliverables (HAZOP refresh, arc flash recalc, SIL recert, audit support). Out-of-scope incident response or brownfield modification PSSR work is invoiced separately at retainer-discounted day rates.

Do you handle both process safety and electrical safety in one engagement?

+

Yes. The practice runs an integrated bench. HAZOP, QRA, LOPA and SIL on the process side. Arc flash, short-circuit, protection coordination and NFPA 70E / IS 13234 on the electrical side. Same Chartered Engineer leadership across both for refineries, pharma and data centres where the two regimes overlap.
