THIRD PARTY CONFIDENTIAL PROCESS INCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS

---

Prism Consultants independently carry out third party investigation of Process incidents like fires, explosions, runaway reactions, tank collapses, abnormal situations etc that have a direct impact on process safety. The aim of these investigations is to enable management to pinpoint the root causes of the incident including human factors that led to the incident and to avoid recurrence of the incident. The investigation also helps to identify management issues that may be having an effect on process safety. These issues could include communication, culture and competency. Prism Consultants fully understands the confidentiality of chemical plant specific information and will hold all information, findings, observations, reports, etc in strictest confidence.    

Many of the root causes of an incident are only revealed when a systematic analysis of the human factors involved in the incident are identified. In many incidents that have been investigated by Prism Consultants, it has been observed that the systemic root causes have not been identified by the in house team. This is due to a cognizant bias that is involved as the persons involved in the investigations are working within the constraints of the system . Use Prism Consultants expertise to identify the true root causes the incident. Established techniques, along with experience gained from investigating numerous incidents, are used to identify the root causes. These include event and causal factor charting, Man-Technology-Organization analysis and barrier analysis.
