Introduction
PSM regulations by OSHA require that "Facility Siting
Analysis" be addressed in a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA).
Facility Siting Analysis performed during a PHA uses
checklists to identify issues. A separate Facility
Siting Analysis involves identifying issues using
detailed checklists and evaluating them using API RP 752
good engineering practice guidelines. While most
facilities have the "potential" for major events, such
as explosions, fires, or toxic releases that could
seriously affect the occupants of facility buildings, a
risk-perspective is essential in determining where and
what change is warranted. OSHA is particularly concerned
that FSA address the relationship between the hazards of
the covered process and the occupants of facility
buildings.
Our Services
Our Consultants are experienced in performing FSA and
can make you understand how to meet applicable good
engineering practices (API RP 752) and comply with
regulatory requirements. We will facilitate your team in
the generation of recommendations for corrective actions
and a written report that documents the FSA results and
the recommendations generated by your team will be
issued.
Typical services include;
- API RP752 Studies
- Facility Siting Checklist
- Scenario Identification/Analysis
- Occupancy Criteria
- Air Dispersion Modeling
- 2D or 3D Blast Modeling
- Fire/Radiation Analysis
- Frequency Analysis/QRAs
- Risk Mitigation/Reduction
- Facility Siting Analysis "How To" Training
