ClearSky Risk Management has been conducting Remote HAZOP studies for 20 years, when required due to project/personnel distance.

We continue to provide remote PHA Facilitation services to ensure that project schedules and compliance deadlines are met, but the quality and efficiency of the PHA is not compromised.

We'd be happy to answer any questions about how to effectively and efficiently conduct your remote PHA/HAZOP studies. Ask us how!

A good reminder from the CCPS regarding the improper use of safety devices for control of a process. PSVs are not meant to lift routinely. Shut-off systems are not primary layers of protection. Safety systems are for when primary controls fail, not in place of primary controls.
