Regardless of industry - manufacturing, chemical, industrial, nuclear - you know by now that you need a continuously updated process to keep your facility safe. It may be partially mandated by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), it may be directed by a cracker jack team of safety professionals... or, ideally you have both.
Having a one stop shop for testing, consulting and engineering in a risk management services (RMS) plan can be highly advantageous for telling you what you don't know. Find out what is missing, what you weren't sure of and how to improve.
Look for a team that can provide a complete range of safety services that can be performed in both their lab facilities or on-site at your location to help you understand and address hazards that pose risk to your process facility and ensure compliance.
Key areas your safety plan should address:
Combustible Dust Explosion and Fire Hazard Evaluation
• Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA)
• Dust Management Program Development
• Equipment Hazard Evaluation
• Testing -variety of equipment to cross check
• VSP2 Relief Systems
• Flammability Hazard Evaluation
