Process safety & risk support to identify hazards, assess protective barriers, and guide safer decisions in operating plants.
Process Safety & Risk Support
A safeguard listed in a study may not provide the protection expected in the field. Texas Engineering Consulting provides process safety & risk support to examine credible hazards, assess protective systems, and identify gaps between documented safeguards and actual plant conditions.
Based in Houston, we support refineries, petrochemical facilities, and midstream operations across the Gulf Coast. Our work combines structured hazard reviews, protection layer assessments, and incident investigations, with particular attention to instrumentation integrity, operating assumptions, and the practical steps needed to reduce risk.
Hazard Identification
Facilitate HAZOP studies to identify credible process deviations, potential consequences, and safeguards with your plant team.
Safeguard Assessment
Use layer of protection analysis (LOPA) to assess barrier effectiveness, independence, and the assumptions behind risk estimates.
Instrumented Protection
Support safety integrity level (SIL) determination and examine instrumented protection requirements for identified hazardous events.
Incident Investigation
Investigate incidents, near misses, and barrier failures to identify contributing conditions and practical opportunities for prevention.
From Findings to Action
A useful safety review gives your team a clear basis for action. We tailor each engagement to the facility, available evidence, and agreed scope, translating findings into priorities, responsibilities, and steps for addressing identified risks.
- Hazard Scenarios — Document credible events, potential consequences, and conditions requiring closer examination.
- Safeguard Gaps — Identify weaknesses in protective systems, supporting evidence, and operating assumptions.
- Risk Priorities — Rank recommendations by assessed risk, urgency, and implementation needs.
- Action Roadmap — Define recommended improvements, proposed responsibilities, and practical next steps.
- Closeout Criteria — Specify evidence needed to verify that completed actions address identified gaps.
