Formal Safety Assessments / Design Safety Engineering Support

Cormat Group delivers comprehensive Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) and Design Safety Engineering Support services that integrate safety excellence into every stage of your project lifecycle. Our systematic approach ensures regulatory compliance while optimizing operational efficiency and risk management.

Our Formal Safety Assessment services employ a structured five-step methodology: hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control options, cost-benefit analysis, and decision-making recommendations. This proactive framework, originally developed following major industrial disasters, enables systematic evaluation of safety risks and implementation of cost-effective control measures. We conduct comprehensive FSA studies for maritime, offshore, and onshore facilities, providing transparent, evidence-based recommendations that demonstrate regulatory compliance and ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) principles.

Our Design Safety Engineering Support encompasses inherent safety principles, hazard identification studies (HAZID), and hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) integrated throughout the design process. We collaborate with your engineering teams to eliminate hazards at source, implement passive safety measures, and develop robust engineering controls. Our specialists provide expert guidance on safety-critical systems, fire and explosion protection, emergency response capabilities, and human factors engineering.

By combining technical expertise with practical industry experience, Cormat Group ensures your facilities achieve optimal safety performance while maintaining operational efficiency. Our services span the UK, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, supporting oil and gas, petrochemical, and energy sector clients in delivering projects that meet the highest safety standards from conception through operation.
