DSEAR, HAC, ATEX, Hazard Studies, LOPA, SIL, ALARP, OBRA & CoMAH. Comprehensive process safety solutions from the experts.

DSEAR & HAC

We provide thorough assessments and guidance to ensure compliance with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) and ATEX directives.

Our expertise extends to delivering bespoke solutions for hazardous area classification, ensuring your operations are safe and compliant.

With extensive experience gained from Hazardous Area Classification and DSEAR Risk Assessment in all industries, your risk assessments are in safe hands. 

Keeping up to date with the latest guidance, we ensure practical and pragmatic assessments.

Hazard Studies

Our team offers comprehensive hazard identification and risk assessment services including HAZOP & HAZID. These are essential for understanding potential risks in your operations and implementing effective mitigation strategies. These studies are considered the “suitable and sufficient” risk assessments for process operations.

We provide the cost effective expertise in all hazard study stages, including HAZOP and HAZID.

Our experience is across many industries such as petrochemicals, distilled spirits and manufacturing. We have vast experience in HAZOP and HAZID across many high hazard industries.

LOPA & SIL

We specialise in determining and implementing LOPA and SIL requirements based on IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 standards. Our approach helps ensure the reliability of critical safety systems and compliance with industry best practices.

Since the Buncefield incident in December 2005, the HSE has put an increasing focus on the quality and rigour shown in SIL determination studies. These studies are used to ensure critical trip systems are reliable enough to protect against high severity events.

At OTECSA, we recognise that Safety Integrity Level (SIL) determination can pose a significant challenge, necessitating specialised methods and the expertise of seasoned practitioners – assets that typically go beyond the scope of in-house engineering teams.
