Health, Safety, and Environmental Protection
Advanced engineering to ensure flawless operation.
In tandem with the functional specifications of a planned process engineering system, paramount considerations include safety, occupational hygiene, and environmental protection (SHE). Our adept specialists in safety, occupational hygiene, and environmental matters comprehend your safety imperatives and integrate them into the planning and construction phases of the plant. We operate with cost-efficiency, ensuring your safety mandates are fulfilled without exceeding objectives.
MT-Plant offers consultancy expertise in safety, occupational hygiene, and environmental preservation.
Throughout the construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning phases of a plant, ensuring the safety of individuals, assets, and the environment remains paramount. This foundation is established during the plant's planning phase, where adherence to both legal and company-specific safety, industrial hygiene, and environmental protection standards is essential. We collaborate closely with your safety, industrial hygiene, and environmental protection personnel to incorporate your requirements seamlessly. Don't have internal company guidelines? No issue. We possess expertise in legal mandates and integrate them into our planning and implementation processes. Additionally, we offer assistance in formulating project-specific requirements or developing internal company guidelines as needed.
Process security.
Safety encompasses a broad spectrum of concerns, particularly given the potential hazards inherent in a process engineering facility. Our engineers and specialized planners are dedicated to crafting a design for the process engineering segment of the plant that prioritizes inherent safety. This objective is reinforced by conducting pertinent risk analyses, such as the PAAG or HAZOP procedures, in collaboration with other project stakeholders.
We provide assistance with:
- Conducting PAAG / HAZOP analyses
Our team of process engineering experts is available to assist you in planning and implementing the identified measures.
Occupational safety.
Not all hazards can be mitigated solely through process-technical design. Additional measures are necessary, which may involve further technical installations or training and equipping operating and service personnel. Through meticulous risk analysis, such as in accordance with ISO 12100, these supplementary measures are delineated. We assist you in hazard identification and defining appropriate measures to mitigate risks.
Process plants are typically subject to the Machinery Directive, necessitating adherence to conformity requirements. Achieving CE compliance entails meeting the directives and standards, conducting risk analysis, implementing risk mitigation measures, and furnishing comprehensive plant documentation. We meticulously plan to align with directives and standards, ensuring our documentation adheres to the principles of good engineering practice.
We provide assistance with:
- Conducting risk analysis in accordance with ISO 12100
- Ensuring CE conformity
We also offer expertise and guidance on matters concerning explosion protection.
Environmental protection.
The unintended release of substances can pose environmental challenges, necessitating adherence to legal regulations governing permitted emissions into the air or water. Compliance with specified limit values often requires the implementation of specific technical measures. Typically, exhaust air and wastewater must undergo suitable treatment before being discharged into the environment.
Our seasoned engineers and specialized planners design purification systems tailored to address contaminated streams. With expertise in various gas and water cleaning methods, we employ a structured approach to identify the most suitable procedure for your application, specifying and planning the system, and overseeing its implementation.
We'll assist you in adhering to:
- Air Pollution Control Ordinance (LRV)
- Technical instructions for air cleaning (TA air)
- Water Protection Ordinance (GSchV)
- Water Resources Act (WHG)
- Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC)
Occupational hygiene
In process plants, the handling of certain substances can pose health risks to personnel, necessitating the implementation of measures to safeguard their well-being. MT-Plant Consulting is well-versed in the inherent risks associated with substance handling and familiar with the company's work processes. We meticulously plan precautions to mitigate the risk of worker exposure to hazardous substances. Our team of experts aids in ensuring compliance with industrial hygiene regulations, whether in the planning of new facilities or the enhancement of existing ones.
We provide assistance with:
- Strategizing and executing protective system plans
- Addressing requirements outlined in the EKAS guidelines
