How to conduct an Incident Investigation by TheSafetyMaster™



Incident Investigation is the systematic review of an incident happened in the Establishment. It may or may not have any direct impact over the functions of the Organisation. It reports, tracks and investigates Incidents. In 1931, Herbert Heinrich, the father of the concept of Industrial Safety, documented in his Book that for every incident causing major injury, there are 29 minor accidents and 300 near misses. In Modern times, the number has definitely gone upward.

Broadly speaking, an incident investigation can be done in two ways-
-Either by investigating incidents, including staffing, documenting, and tracking investigations of process safety incidents or
- finding a pattern in incidents and related data to identify recurring ones.
Based over the outcome, an effective recommendation is developed to address the recurring causes of the incidents. The objective here is to find out a solution to the underlying, system-related causes, instead of assigning the blame to someone.

Since it’s incorporation in 2016, TheSafetyMasterTM Team is tirelessly working with Industrial and Sectoral Establishments providing the required technical assistance and expertise for meeting their Health and Safety Standards. As a leading name in Occupational Safety and Health Standards, we, TheSafetyMaster Team, investigate to reveal the cause, extent of damage, the scope of the damage and safety measures to be adopted to eliminate any Future contingency.

Incident Investigation is a highly skilled specialised Area. At TheSafetyMaster, our highly Trained SCs (Safety Consultants) ensure a safe and hazard-free Industrial Environment. We are also proud counterparts of pioneers in Safety as MYND and VELIMOR. Our follow-up programmes conducted by knowledgeable resources will help you to be aware of every new safety standard and regulations to be adhered to.
Our Experts recommend a six-step approach to any incident-
  • Immediate Action by making the Area isolated or evacuating employess
  • Preparation for the investigation is as important as the Incident itself so a planned approach towards the Investigation with a competent team
  • Collecting relevant data from numerous resources
  • Identifying the direct and indirect causes by analysis the data collected
  • A comprehensive Report documenting the process, methodology followed and outcomes of the Investigation
  • Recommendations to avoid any such incident to happen in future.
  • Periodic evaluation of the safety measures recommended and any improvisations thereof
  • Retraining Employees after an incident to equip them to face the challenges
Our focus is to assist Organisations by providing long-term solutions via an effective management system and EHS (Employee Health & Safety) approach. In Future, this will reduce costs associated with losses, as well as health and safety compliance.

HAZOP Study a Great Tool for Hazardous Industry to Identify Process Hazard


A hazard and operability study (HAZOP) is very important for identifying and evaluating problems that may represent risks to personnel or equipment within complex processes and operations. Multi-disciplinary teams are required to carry out a HAZOP, some of which may not have experience in the area before, or may need a guideline for best practice. TheSafetyMaster provides Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Training Programme.

There are some ways to assess a process or workplace for hazards, and every approach has strengths and weaknesses. For example, the worker-focused Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is especially effective for the protection of workers, because it considers each task that a worker must perform. The technique includes an in-depth examination of the method and engineering intention of the latest or existing facilities to assess the hazard potential of operation outside the planning intention or malfunction of individual items of kit and their consequential effects on the facility.

HAZOP is led by an experienced facilitator. For an oil & gas project, a specific team would require a person from Machines, Project Engineering, Process, Instruments, and Operations, and it’d require the involvement of process technologists, environmental specialists and company Health & Safety and Environment (HSE) staff for few parts of the work.

HAZOP studies provide a particular method to enhance plant safety by taking consideration of technical and organizational hazards, human error and external influences. In addition to determining which safety measures provide genuine benefits, HAZOP studies also can help identify the qualitative solutions for functional safety assets of process control. The results can be used to reduce the likelihood of costly and time-consuming malfunctions while increasing operational safety and availability.

By the end of the Hazop training, employees will be able to:
• Make a successful 
HAZOP study that clearly identifies the scope and timeframes
• Select and motivate the HAZOP team to finish the study on time and with results
• Guide productive HAZOP study meetings to succeed in positive outcomes
• Identify and solve problems that occur during HAZOP studies
• Create effective and user-friendly HAZOP study reports
• Analyze HAZOP study results and form the organization’s improvement recommendations

This Training will benefit:
• All key persons in the organization, who by their discipline and/or position are likely to be called on to plan, organize or manage a HAZOP study.
• All who have responsibility for the management of process plant safety assessments using the HAZOP technique including but not limited to Senior Management, Plant Managers, Process and Maintenance engineers (all disciplines), Safety Specialists, and Process Training Instructors.

How Can We Help
TheSafetyMaster has conducted numerous HAZID’s/HAZOP studies for many clients. Our practical approach helps clients to correctly identify the hazards and implement cost-effective solutions. The focus on the Human Factor approach to HAZOP studies assists the client to identify potential hazards that may not be spotted in a regular HAZOP study. Organizations can ensure good Hazop quality by developing the Hazop skills of their professionals. HAZOP training is provided by an expert trainer with long years of experience, utilizing a practical and interactive approach. 

TheSafetyMaster provides several workshops and mock Hazops, therefore giving the employees invaluable hands-on-experience. We also provide Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP).

Pre Startup Safety Review by TheSafetyMaster



Management of Change and Pre-startup Safety Review (PSSR) Management of Change is the element for which all other foundation elements of Process Safety Management (PSM) are implemented. It is the PSM element that controls the introduction of new risk. Recognizing change, analyzing the danger of every change, and doing small changes efficiently are just a few of the hurdles that managers face with MOC implementation.
The aim of a pre-startup safety review is to assist make sure that proper safety measures are taken and are operational before a new chemical is placed or the current chemical plant is modified. The pre-startup review confirms that before the introduction of a modified chemical or a modification to the current hazardous chemical inventory:
·         Construction of equipment is in conformity with design specifications;
·         Safety, maintenance, operating, and emergency procedures are in their proper place and correct;
·         For new chemicals, a PHA has been performed and recommendations have been resolved or implemented before the chemical arrives on the site;
·         For changed processes, the Management of Change requirements have been met; and
·         Training of each employee involved in handling the dangerous chemical has been completed.
The Pre- Startup Safety Review is a safety review conducted before the startup of a modified or new manufacturing factory or facility to make sure that installations meet the first design, to catch and re-assess any potential hazard from the changes during the detailed construction and engineering phase of the project. In other words, it makes sure the status of the processing facility.
The Main Activities in the PSSR of a Project
Following activities are administered during a PSSR with coordination between Contractor and Owner of the plant/facilities:
·         Do PSSR participation from the authorized Contractor and Owner personnel
·         Do Technical and HSE reviews of documentation
·         Verify all construction and equipment is in conformity with safety, environmental and health regulation, and standards.
·         Complete all corrective action items raised within the PSSR.
·         Complete Post- Start-up corrective action items.
·         The representative of the Project Owner signs the PSSR checklists for approval of the commissioning/start-up of the plant.
·         Documentation of PSSR.
