New Solutions to Equipment Facilities Installation Safety Risks Using Integrated Hazard Analysis

摘要

Addressing and managing risk to a company can be approached reactively or proactively. In a proactive approach, addressing and managing business risk is integrated with equipment or facilities hazard analysis and sign-off protocol to further highlight Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) issues in advance of installations and construction. This approach leads to lower risk, decreased costs, a more consistent approach across developing and existing installations and facilities, and a safer workforce. This paper provides an overview of how and why to use this integrated hazard analysis process in each phase from design through startup. Finally, we'll look ahead to an emerging trend in supply chain - robotics, and specifically, collaborative robots, or "CoBots" - with a view to applying the integrated hazard analysis to minimize cost and risk in the integrated work environment.
