Process Safety Engineering
Is the process safe, and would your system know if it weren't?
Major accidents are rarely caused by unknown hazards; they are caused by management systems that stopped seeing known ones. Our process safety practice covers both halves of the problem: the engineering analysis that finds and quantifies major accident hazards, and the management system that keeps them controlled through every change, deferral, and operating decision.
What we deliver.
Hazard Studies (HAZOP / HAZID / What-If)
Structured hazard identification led by experienced facilitators, with recommendations engineered to be closeable.
LOPA & SIL Determination
Layer of protection analysis and safety integrity level determination and verification under the IEC 61511 lifecycle.
Quantitative Risk Assessment
Consequence and frequency analysis of major accident scenarios, fire, explosion, toxic release, against defined risk criteria.
PSM System Development & Audit
Design, gap assessment, and audit of process safety management systems across recognised regimes.
Process Safety Performance Indicators
Leading and lagging indicator frameworks consistent with API RP 754, built to give leadership early sight of barrier degradation.
Facility Siting & Occupied Buildings
Assessment of personnel exposure to blast, fire, and toxic hazards per API RP 752 / 753.
Process safety and asset integrity are usually sold by different firms, and the gap between them is where loss-of-containment risk lives. VTA's process safety engineers are integrity engineers too: our PSM work treats mechanical integrity, operating windows, and damage knowledge as first-class elements, not someone else's annex.
