HSSES, Process Safety & Risk Assessment

At EPConsult Energies, we offer a comprehensive suite of environmental and social assessment services to identify, predict, and evaluate the potential impacts of proposed projects. Our experience covers the entire project lifecycle, from environmental screening, scoping, and design review workshops to compliance monitoring and auditing. We specialise in various services, including Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), and Environmental Baseline Surveys and Monitoring.

EPConsult Energies leads the way in comprehensive Escape, Evacuate, and Rescue Assessments (EERA) to ensure maximum safety in the oil and gas industry emergency scenarios. We leverage our vast experience to assess and justify EER design, focusing on distribution, functionality, diversity, capacity, and endurance. We carefully evaluate the risk to personnel in emergency response situations and recommend procedures for safe worksite exit, evacuation, and rescue, if necessary. Our expert team prepares for effective Emergency Response Plans (ERP) by analysing Major Accident Hazards (MAHs) and defining appropriate response scenarios.

Our specialist approach assesses individual, environmental, employee and public risk levels in comparison with regulatory risk criteria. Our methodology includes thorough data gathering, Hazard Identification (HAZID), consequence modelling, Event Tree Analysis, and comprehensive risk analysis. Furthermore, our services extend to Computational Field Dynamics (CFD), Fire and Gas detection study, and Simultaneous Operations Study (SIMOPS). We ensure a robust implementation of the ALARP principle in mitigating risk and establishing Risk Reduction Measures (RRMs), ensuring the safety and integrity of your oil and gas operations.

EP’s expert-led multidisciplinary workshops aid in identifying and managing Major Accident Hazards (MAH), focusing on personnel safety and environmental protection. Delve into the intricate aspects of Environmental Impact Identification (ENVID) to evaluate and mitigate environmental hazards. Harness the systematic approach of Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) to identify potential threats and evaluate operability in complex industrial setups. Unravel the nuances of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) studies designed to analyse Instrumented Protective Functions (IPF) for worst-case control failures.

Our comprehensive approach meticulously addresses Major Accident Hazards (MAH) and establishes a robust case for continued operation. Immerse in an all-encompassing assessment that includes hazard identification, emergency response plans, and thorough consequence analyses. Seamlessly integrate inputs from operations, projects, and HSE committees to create a living document that evolves with your facility. Revel in the confidence that comes from ensuring ALARP status and securing safety critical elements through a systematic Health, Safety, and Environmental Impact Assessment.

Elevate your energy systems' management with the innovative HSSES Seven/Seven Method by EPConsult Energies. Our groundbreaking approach ensures comprehensive Health, Safety, Social, Environment, and Security management through an ingenious blend of efficient work processes and our proprietary EPRisk Tool. Employing a seven-element ‘Plan-Do-Check-Act’ model, RACIS Chart for precise role definitions, and Capability Maturity Modelling for organisational health checks, our method ensures rigorous hazard identification and cost-effective risk management.
