Process Safety Improvement Plan

Our small-scale chemical plant recently experienced several near-miss events—minor leaks and a worrying pressure spike on one of the stainless-steel reactors. I need a qualified chemical engineer to analyse the current operating conditions, identify root causes of these safety risks, and deliver a practical, step-by-step action plan that the production team can implement without lengthy shutdowns. Scope • Review existing P&IDs, operating procedures, and sensor data (temperature, pressure, flow) for the reactor train, storage tanks, and transfer lines. • Pin-point the most probable leak sources, over-pressure scenarios, and potential ignition points. • Quantify risk levels using recognised methods (e.g., HAZOP, LOPA) and back findings with concise calculations. • Translate those findings into a sequenced list of corrective measures—materials upgrades, valve replacements, alarm set-point tweaks, preventive-maintenance intervals, training topics—clearly prioritised by risk reduction and ease of execution. Deliverable A single PDF (or editable Word document) that includes: 1. Brief summary of root causes. 2. Risk matrix highlighting high-priority items. 3. Detailed, numbered action steps with estimated downtime, cost class (low/med/high), and responsible discipline. 4. Any supporting schematics or mark-ups. Acceptance Criteria • Recommendations align with relevant standards (API, NFPA, OSHA PSM). • Calculations and references are transparent and traceable. • Action list is immediately actionable by my in-house maintenance crew. I will supply operating data, drawings, and incident logs once we agree on the job. Please indicate similar safety projects you have completed and your typical turnaround time.
