Hazard Assessment

Hazard Analysis is the application of technical methods to assist our clients' understanding of the impact of fire or explosion on their facility. For some clients, particularly in the industrial sectors, this assessment involves formal methods and reporting requirements. Various methods we have used include, but are not limited to, the methods listed below:

  • Computer-Based Fire Modeling
  • Structural Response Modeling
  • Modeling of Fire Protection System Response
  • Explosion Hazard Assessment (gases and dusts)
  • Preliminary Hazard Assessment (PHA)
  • Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP)
  • Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
  • Event Tree Analysis

PLC has also developed hazard assessment tools to help technical staff efficiently meet client requirements.  These tools include five models for specific hazards and hazard assessment database applications to assist in coordinating hazard and protection information for larger industrial sites.
