Process Safety Consultancy
F.E.S. (EX) delivers process safety consultancy across the full life of your plant.
Complete Solutions for Process Safety
Regulations including DSEAR, ATEX and UKEX place the duty on the asset owner to control the fire and explosion risks created by flammable dusts, gases, vapours and thermally reactive materials. Our qualified engineers and process safety specialists assess that risk against current UK and international standards, then set out what needs to change and in what order.
Process safety at F.E.S. (EX) does not stop at the report. It sits alongside our electrical and instrumentation engineering, so a single team can take you from assessment to a compliant, working plant. Where a problem can be solved in more than one way, we recommend the option that is safe, practical and cost-effective for how your site actually runs.
Hazardous Area Classification Services
Hazardous area classification judges how likely a flammable atmosphere is at a given location, and sets the zones that follow from it. We classify the area, define the protection required, and confirm whether existing or proposed equipment is suitable for that zone. If your production or storage areas are not yet classified, we can assess whether classification is needed.
DSEAR Risk Assessment Services
A suitable and sufficient DSEAR risk assessment is the starting point for most sites. We review where your site stands against acceptable practice, show what should improve and at what priority, and produce a written assessment you can audit against. On-site assessment is our preference, since the surrounding environment is central to a sound result.
Hazard and Operability Study Services
A HAZOP study works methodically through your process to find where a deviation in a single step could lead to a dangerous situation. We facilitate the study with your team, drawing on both process safety and engineering experience to identify hazards early and agree controls that are practical to put in place.
Process Safety Solutions & Consultancy
Beyond assessment and classification, we cover the wider process safety picture. That includes HAZID and functional safety studies, electrostatic ignition source assessments, dust and vapour explosion relief calculations, vapour evaporation calculations, and material flammability and explosion testing. Where a decision needs measured data rather than judgement alone, we get you the right figures and set out a clear basis of safety for each process.
