Process Safety Studies

Expert Safety Analysis by BM Process Management

Structured Risk Reduction for Industrial Facilities

At BM Process Management, we help industrial facilities reduce operational risk by conducting structured, high quality process safety studies. Whether you are required to comply with SEVESO III (BRZO) regulations or simply want to improve the reliability and safety of your plant, we support you with expert facilitation and actionable insights.

Our team has extensive experience leading and documenting safety studies including HAZOP, LOPA, and Process Hazard Analyses (PHA); across the oil & gas, chemicals, tank storage, and energy sectors. We also see growing interest from Non Traditional Industries, such as food processing and packaging, where safety assessments are becoming an expectation, not an exception.

Our Scope of Work

HAZOP Facilitation

We lead structured hazard and operability (HAZOP) sessions as trained chairpersons, scribes, or subject matter experts. We ensure sessions are focused, compliant, and well documented.

LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis)

We support LOPA studies to evaluate the adequacy of safeguards and define Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) based on consequence scenarios and risk matrices.

Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)

We provide full PHA documentation tailored to your local regulations and process complexity; mapping risks, causes, and consequences in clear workflows.

Regulatory Alignment

Compliance Support

We support compliance with:

  • SEVESO III / BRZO
  • ATEX, PED, and ISO 45001
  • Internal corporate risk frameworks

Cross Industry Support

Beyond chemicals and oil & gas, we also support:

  • Food and beverage (e.g. ammonia, steam, CIP systems)
  • Packaging and manufacturing lines with pressure, heat, or flammable risks
  • Utilities and district energy plants

Tools We Use: Gordium® Safety Platform

We partner with Gordium®, a modern platform built specifically for safety studies. Gordium combines structured facilitation with AI powered support to enhance study depth and scenario discovery; without compromising the expert judgment that makes safety studies reliable.

Gordium® enables:

Smarter scenario generation

Real time risk visualization

Faster workshop management and documentation

Structured integration of AI recommendations; without replacing human expertise

Our role is to help you use these tools effectively while keeping your review team in control.

Our Approach

We do not believe in checkbox safety. Our role is to guide your team through each step of the process with clarity and technical depth; whether the study is being done for compliance, internal improvement, or incident prevention. We ask the right questions, help prioritize the right risks, and ensure everything is documented clearly.

With BM Process Management, process safety isn’t an obligation; it’s a structured, value driven process that fits your plant’s reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of safety studies do you conduct?

We conduct HAZOP, LOPA, and broader PHA reviews. We also support SIL assessments, relief system reviews, and compliance studies linked to permit or corporate requirements.

Do you only support SEVESO or BRZO sites?

No. We support all types of facilities, regulated or not, that handle pressurized, flammable, reactive, or hazardous systems.

What software do you use for documentation?

We use the Gordium® safety platform, which offers structured PHA documentation with AI assisted scenario discovery and risk scoring.

Can you participate as a third party chair or reviewer?

Yes. We can support in any role: chairperson, scribe, internal reviewer, or technical advisor; depending on your team structure and needs.
