Overview

Our comprehensive range of services has been designed to help businesses get the most from their assets by developing people, plant, and management processes to drive sustainable improvements in safety and environmental performance.

With over 20 years’ experience working within the DSEAR and COMAH regulatory regimes, we provide essential process safety engineering and consultancy support. We help our clients to comply with a complex array of national and international health, safety and environmental legislation, codes, standards and accepted good practice guidance. In doing so, we provide practical solutions to promote safety in design, operation, maintenance, modification, and decommissioning of hazardous facilities.

We are also actively engaged with the wider business community, through industry trade bodies and cluster groups, providing training and seminars to share knowledge and best practice.
