Samarth safety will conduct an adequate, preliminary, Industrial Hygiene audit of your company’s facilities. The purpose of an initial audit is to determine if the need exists for a full formal audit. The preliminary audit will encompass the review and evaluation of the workplace occupational environment for suspect physical, chemical, and biological factors that can cause ill health.

The preliminary audit report will classify specific findings that represent out of compliance issues, identify areas that require the collection of tangible information through air monitoring, or other physical sampling methods, discuss anticipated needs for engineering and administrative controls and establish recommendations to initiate corrective actions. Action steps will be shown for individual program areas in-order to implement correction plans for identified deficiencies. This will include exceptions to established governmental regulations as well as the good practices that the facility has developed and implemented.

At Samarth safety, we work with Facilities, Planning, and Operations management to develop comprehensive audit objectives. This will be accomplished by reviewing the information and data collected during the preliminary audit.

Our team of safety, indoor environment, and engineering experts subscribe to the five basic tenets of industrial hygiene recognized as industry best practices:

• Anticipation – It involves reviewing all practices and procedures and using qualitative and quantitative measurements to assess them annually. Industrial hygiene practices are actively integrated into the corporate structure.
• Recognition – Recognition involves establishing a file or database and incorporating all legal requirements and recommended practices. We also rank risk operations and create an audit or assessment plan based on those rankings.
• Evaluation – All the preparation is actively put to use as we implement the exposure assessment strategy and document hazard evaluations.
• Prevention – We ensure clients use effective hazard communication. The effectiveness of health and safety training becomes evident as preventative measures impact the workplace.
• Control – Successful management is an on-going process of following the hierarchy of controls and benefiting from health and safety management systems.

Under the evaluation, the core areas examined are Chemical hazards, Physical hazards, Biological hazards, and Ergonomic hazards, Engineering or Administrative Controls, Ventilation, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Quantitative Risk Analysis is proven as a valuable management tool in assessing the overall safety performance of an Industry.

Samarth safety offers you premium services for your industry to help you make the best use of the resources.

Our team helps you to identify, quantify, and assess the risk from the facility from the storage and handling of chemical products.

We also assist you in identifying, quantify, and assess the risk to nearby facilities/installations.

Our experts will suggest personalized recommendations in order to reduce the risk to human life, assets, environment, and business interruptions to as low as reasonably practicable.

Furthermore, we provide Risk Analysis techniques along with advanced quantitative means to supplement other hazard identification, analysis, assessment, control, and management methods to identify the potential for such incidents and to evaluate control strategies.

QRA is widely used in assessing the risk in Oil & Gas Installations, especially refineries, tank farms, cross country pipelines, bottling plants, terminals, etc.

Hazard Identification is a critical step in Risk Analysis. Many aids are available, including What-if Analysis, Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Studies, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), etc.,

• Assessment of risks is based on the consequences and likelihood.
• Consequence Estimation is the methodology used to determine the potential for damage or injury from specific incidents.
• Likelihood assessment is the methodology used to estimate the frequency or probability of occurrence of an incident.

Risks are quantified by our team of experts and ranked accordingly based on their severity and probability. Acceptability of the estimated risk must then be judged based upon criteria appropriate to the particular situation. This personalized study report is used to understand the significance of existing control measures and to follow the measures continuously. Wherever possible, additional risk control measures are adopted by our team to reduce the risk levels.

A Hazard and Operability Study systematically investigates each element in a process. The goal is to find potential situations that would cause that element to pose a hazard or limit the operability of the process as a whole. There are four basic steps to the process:

• Forming a HAZOP team
• Identifying the elements of the system
• Considering possible variations in operating parameters
• Identifying any hazards or failure points

In HAZOP, our team of experienced professionals carefully reviews a process or operation in a systematic manner to determine whether deviations from the design or operational intent can lead to undesirable consequences. This technique can be used for continuous or batch processes and can be adopted to evaluate written procedures. Our team of experienced professionals forms a specialized HAZOP team and lists potential causes and consequences of the deviation as well as existing safeguards protecting against the variation. When the team determines that inadequate safeguards exist for a credible variation, it usually recommends the action be taken to reduce the risk.
