We facilitate all types of PHAs for clients. We also provide process-specific (e.g., HF Alkylation) expertise for clients’ PHA teams.

Audit Protocol Development
A generic checklist tells you whether you have a procedure. We build protocols that verify your site is doing what it says, against your own procedures or the RAGAGEP behind them.

Many of our consultants also serve as assessors for the API Process Safety Site Assessment Program (PSSAP) and API RP 751 audits.
