We do this by employing our core skills in risk assessment, reliability engineering, and process and equipment engineering to the design and maintenance of engineered safeguards. Our services help our clients to comply with appropriate regulations and standards, and benchmark their performance and processes against industry best practices. These services allow our clients to have best in class safety and reliability while investing resources that are in line with industry norms.

Process industry plants create value by converting raw materials into valuable products using technology that can include high temperatures, high pressures, and flammable and toxic materials. In order to maintain a business that is not only profitable, but also provides a safe work environment and is also a good neighbor, these hazards must be effectively managed. Management of hazards is effectively performed by applying a risk management framework that identifies and controls risks. Controlling risk is accomplished by a combination of administrative controls and engineered safeguards. The risk management framework and process safety lifecycle employed by Kenexis provides a systematic method for accomplishing these important goals.

Our lifecycle approach is a key to ensuring effective risk management. This process starts at conceptual process design and continues through the design of engineered safeguards all the way through management of change of the final plant design. This approach considers all risks posed by the process and all means of safeguarding in a systematic and holistic way, allowing selection of the most appropriate safeguards.
