Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study
At Generative HSE Compliance Systems Limited, we offer professional HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) studies to systematically evaluate potential hazards and operational issues within new or existing process systems. A HAZOP is a structured, team-based approach used to identify design and operational deviations that could lead to undesirable consequences, such as equipment damage, environmental impact, or injury to personnel. We facilitate comprehensive HAZOP sessions involving your multidisciplinary team, including engineering, operations, maintenance, and safety experts. By following the guide word methodology prescribed in IEC 61882, we assess critical nodes within the process design, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and control logic to uncover how deviations from intended operations can arise. Our reports are structured to support follow-up, with action tracking tables and graphical risk matrices. This process ultimately strengthens your process safety culture, supports regulatory compliance, and reduces the likelihood of unplanned events or costly downtime. Whether for greenfield projects, brownfield modifications, or plant expansions, Generative HSE provides customized HAZOP services tailored to your industry, including oil & gas, energy, manufacturing, water, and chemicals.
Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a structured approach for identifying potential failure points in systems, processes, or components and evaluating their impact on safety, reliability, and operations. At Generative HSE Compliance Systems Limited, we provide comprehensive FMECA services tailored to critical assets and operations across industries such as oil & gas, manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure. Our approach helps clients systematically analyze what could go wrong, how those failures might manifest, and what consequences they may have. By evaluating the severity, occurrence, and detectability of each failure mode, we assign a risk priority number (RPN) to guide maintenance strategies, design improvements, and safety interventions. FMECA is a vital part of asset lifecycle management and reliability cantered maintenance (RCM). It enables proactive planning, reduces equipment downtime, and enhances process safety especially for rotating equipment, pressure systems, control systems, and electrical assets. Our team combines technical expertise, engineering experience, and cross-disciplinary knowledge to facilitate effective FMECA workshops, supported by detailed documentation, visual mapping, and traceable action plans.
Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS)
Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) occur when multiple high-risk activities are performed concurrently within the same operational zone. These scenarios, while often necessary in modern industrial projects, carry a heightened risk of conflict, interference, or escalation if not properly managed. At Generative HSE Compliance Systems Limited, we provide thorough SIMOPS assessments to ensure safe coordination of parallel tasks, especially during brownfield upgrades, commissioning, shutdowns, or turnaround projects.
Our SIMOPS services begin with a detailed review of planned activities, risk interfaces, and spatial layouts. We identify potential conflict points between operations such as hot work, lifting, confined space entry, energization, chemical use, or third-party interventions. Each overlapping operation is assessed for hazards, escalation potential, and mitigation requirements. We then develop a SIMOPS Matrix and SIMOPS Risk Register defining which operations can safely occur together, which require segregation, and what control measures (e.g., barriers, scheduling, supervision) must be in place. Our consultants also support interface meetings, permit-to-work harmonization, and workforce briefings to reinforce awareness and accountability.
Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA)
Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) is a critical tool for evaluating potential fire and explosion hazards within industrial facilities. At Generative HSE Compliance Systems Limited, we conduct in-depth FERA studies that support facility siting, layout design, risk reduction, and regulatory compliance. Our approach combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies to assess credible fire and explosion scenarios from hydrocarbon releases to dust ignition, electrical faults, and process vessel ruptures. Using software-based modelling and consequence analysis tools, we simulate thermal radiation, overpressure impacts, flash fires, jet fires, and vapor cloud explosions. We evaluate factors such as ignition probability, detection and suppression systems, evacuation distances, and firewater capacity. The outputs of a FERA include risk contours, event trees, escalation analysis, and mitigation strategies. These findings directly inform your fire protection strategy, spacing requirements, emergency response plan, and overall process safety design. FERA studies are particularly vital in the oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, mining, and energy industries where the consequences of fire and explosion incidents can be catastrophic. Our reports comply with international standards such as API 752/753, NFPA, and local fire safety regulations.
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Study
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Study is a structured process used to determine and verify the required performance of Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) within your facility. We offer full-lifecycle SIL services in line with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, supporting the design, implementation, and maintenance of reliable safety systems. We begin with SIL Determination, often using Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) to evaluate the likelihood and consequences of hazardous events. This helps assign the appropriate SIL rating (1–4) to each SIF, ensuring the system can adequately reduce risk to a tolerable level.
Next, we carry out SIL Verification by analyzing whether your SIF’s architecture, redundancy, and response time meet the required Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD). We also evaluate sensor reliability, logic solvers, final elements, and proof test intervals. Where gaps are found, we recommend design improvements or additional layers of protection. For operational facilities, we assist with SIL Validation, periodic testing, and lifecycle documentation to ensure ongoing compliance and performance. Our SIL studies support safe operation of critical equipment such as Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD), Fire & Gas Detection Systems, Pressure Relief Devices, and Burner Management Systems (BMS).
Accident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis
At Generative HSE Compliance Systems Limited, we provide expert-led accident investigation and root cause analysis services that go beyond assigning blame to uncover systemic weaknesses in safety and operational controls. Whether you’re facing a workplace injury, equipment failure, fire incident, or near-miss event, our investigations are designed to extract lessons that drive lasting improvements. Our approach starts with scene preservation and evidence collection, followed by in-depth interviews with involved personnel and witnesses. We utilize structured techniques to uncover the root causes be they organizational, technical, human, or procedural. Each investigation includes a timeline reconstruction, failure mode identification, and causation mapping. We then present findings in a clear, non-technical format, supported by photographs, flowcharts, and compliance references. Most importantly, we generate actionable recommendations aimed at eliminating recurrence. These may include training updates, engineering controls, SOP revisions, or safety culture enhancements. We also support implementation tracking and follow-up audits. Our team ensures full confidentiality and alignment with legal and regulatory standards, including OSHA, ISO 45001, and industry-specific guidelines.
