Process hazard analysis · structured deviation review of every node.
Guideword-driven, node-by-node, deviation-by-deviation. HAZOP led by a CEng MIE India-qualified chair, supported by your operations and process engineering team. IEC 61882 compliant. Recommendations tracked to closure. The foundation for SIL and LOPA.
A good HAZOP requires more than a credentialled chair and a copy of IEC 61882. It requires P&IDs that match field reality (most don't), a knowledge of your operating procedures (most third-party chairs don't), and a discipline of capturing recommendations that survive into closure (most reports don't). Our HAZOP delivery is structurally different · we update the P&IDs first if needed, the chair reads the operating procedures before the workshop, recommendations track to closure with named owner and date. The output is not a 200-page PDF that gets filed; it's a recommendation register that drives real change.
CEng MIE India-signed deliverables · LiDAR-powered where applicable · digital twin handover ready · routes to the Risk + Safety + AMC practice lead within 24 hours.
P&IDs verified against field. Operating procedures, alarm rationalisation, SIS philosophy reviewed by HAZOP chair.
Node-by-node, guideword-driven (more, less, none, reverse, as well as, part of, other than). Causes, consequences, safeguards captured. Recommendations raised.
Each recommendation reviewed for actionability, owner, target date. Recommendations escalated to SIL / LOPA as appropriate.
IEC 61882-compliant report. Recommendation register linked to your action tracking system (PHA-Pro, Plant Doctor, your CMMS).
CEng MIE-signed. Re-HAZOP triggered by MOC, every 5 years per standard, or on any significant incident.
Reports reference the international and national standards your regulators, F500 audit teams, and corporate process safety leads cite. Every deliverable signed by a Chartered Engineer (CEng MIE India).
Three anonymised engagements from our verified roster · quantified outcomes, no client names disclosed without written permission.
Crude Distillation Unit re-HAZOP after 5-year cycle + MOC backlog. 87 recommendations · 12 high-severity. All closed within 18 months.
Steam reformer retrofit triggered HAZOP refresh. New deviation cases (reformer tube rupture) added to existing baseline.
Cleanroom + utility HAZOP combined with GMP risk assessment. Single workshop, dual deliverable.

A hyperscale operator required arc flash hazard analysis across a 14 MW campus, with NFPA 70E (2024) compliant warning labels printed and installed. IEEE 1584-2018 calculations validated against ETAP model.
Client name withheld · representative of multiple engagements in this category
A GCC pharma campus engaged the 5-year AMC retainer covering annual HAZOP refresh, arc flash recalculation under load growth, SIL recertification, OISD-equivalent safety audit support, and on-call Chartered Engineer access for incident response.
Client name withheld · representative of multiple engagements in this category
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This Service Hub is country-neutral. For India statutory CEng MIE deliverables or US PE-stamped deliverables, the country variants carry the full local stack.
