Our Approach · Capital Project Safety

Safety Integrated From First Drawing to First Startup

Most incidents in new facilities trace back to decisions made early in the project — before anyone thought of them as safety decisions. We change that.

The Cost of Late Discovery

A hazard caught at FEED costs a markup. The same hazard caught at construction costs a redesign. Caught at startup, it can cost lives.

Industry data consistently shows that safety integration cost is lowest and impact is highest in the earliest project phases. SafeGuard Projects deploys at the phases where our work delivers the most leverage.

The SafeGuard Projects Promise

We do not parachute in at the end. We embed process safety into the project from the first P&ID — so that when commissioning day comes, the safety case is already built.

What We Deliver

FEED-phase hazard studies · PHA/HAZOP facilitation · P&ID review and markup · SIL classification · PSM compliance roadmaps · Commissioning and startup support · PSSR execution

Where We Engage — and Why

Each project phase has its own safety deliverables. Miss the window and the opportunity to influence design closes.

01

Concept / Feasibility

Process safety screening of technology selection. Inherent safety review against alternatives. Early identification of major hazard scenarios. PSM applicability determination.

02

Pre-FEED

Preliminary hazard analysis (PrHA). Block flow diagram (BFD) hazard review. Consequence modeling to size setback requirements. PSM regulatory gap analysis. Safeguard philosophy development.

03

FEED (Front-End Engineering & Design)

P&ID-level HAZOP facilitation. Layer of protection analysis (LOPA). SIL classification and SIS conceptual design. Relief system philosophy. Control narrative safety review. Process safety information (PSI) development.

04

Detailed Engineering

HAZOP action item resolution tracking. SIS detailed design review. Alarm rationalization. Cause-and-effect matrix review. Operating procedure development support.

05

Construction & Pre-Commissioning

Design change management (MOC). Field verification of safety-critical systems. Mechanical integrity program setup. PSSR planning and checklist development.

06

Commissioning & Startup

PSSR execution — systematic verification that all 29 CFR 1910.119 requirements are met before hazardous material introduction. Cold commissioning support. Hot commissioning safety oversight. First startup attendance.
