More incidents happen during commissioning and startup than at any comparable phase. We provide the safety oversight that keeps your team and your project intact.
Equipment has never operated under process conditions. Design assumptions meet reality. Unexpected interactions between systems emerge. No operational history to reference.
Operators following procedures they helped write — but never executed. No muscle memory. Every step is deliberate. Deviations from procedure are hard to catch in real time.
Commissioning always runs late. The pressure to "make up time" at startup is intense and well-documented as an accident causal factor. We hold the safety line.
Pre-introduction safety walk-downs. Utility system commissioning oversight. Control system functional testing (safety function verification). Loop check witnessing for safety-critical loops.
Formal PSSR just before hazardous material introduction. All-items-closed verification. Sign-off documentation. Regulatory compliance confirmation for 29 CFR 1910.119(i).
On-site safety oversight during initial process fluid introduction. Real-time procedure adherence monitoring. Shift briefings and hazard reviews. Immediate MOC processing for field deviations.
SafeGuard Projects lead consultant on-site for first startup. Process hazard awareness briefings for all shift personnel. Real-time safety observation. Post-startup lessons-learned documentation.
Handover package: PSI final revision, procedures final revision, HAZOP action register, open items list. PSM program activation. Ongoing compliance support available.
