Safety Solutions provides a process safety auditing service aimed at benchmarking a process operator against frameworks such as the CCPS risk based process safety model.
Process safety is a system framework of engineering and management systems used to manage the integrity of hazardous processes. Holes in these systems can expose a facility to unnecessary risk. A process safety audit uses a team of subject matter experts to reveal gaps, benchmark the performance of these systems against best practice and make recommendations to close them.
