HAZID revalidation for an LNG shutdown

The situation
A large LNG facility preparing its first full turnaround in five years, with multiple process trains, hundreds of contractors and an out-of-date hazard register.
The work
HAZID revalidation workshops across all major work packages, built on lessons learnt from previous shutdowns, with every output set out in one clear, consistent format so the same HAZIDs can be revalidated for the other trains.
Results
  • Workshops completed on schedule
  • 120+ hazards identified and risk-ranked
  • Lessons learnt from earlier shutdowns built into each revalidation
  • A format ready to revalidate for the other trains

Shutdowns and turnarounds

Gas plant turnaround, Western Australia

The situation
A gas processing plant planning and executing a turnaround, with a large contractor workforce, a heavy permit-to-work load and work at height around live plant.
The work
Embedded as Shutdown HSE Lead through planning and execution, working alongside the site team: risk reviews attended, pre-starts conducted, field assurance on high-risk work, and frontline teams coached on raising and managing risk. JHAs and the working at height procedure were rebuilt, permits reviewed, and HAZID actions tracked on a live dashboard.
Results
  • Risks raised early through daily pre-starts and risk reviews
  • Field assurance on high-risk work, with frontline teams coached on the spot
  • HAZID actions tracked to close-out on one live dashboard
  • Good catches recognised daily, so crews kept raising hazards early

Drilling campaign, Queensland

The situation
A mid-tier operator's multi-well campaign with an over-complex HSE system, inconsistent incident reporting and little field verification of critical controls.
The work
Embedded with the project team to refocus HSE effort on the critical risks that can cause a fatality: documentation rebuilt around those risks, pre-task risk assessments simplified to one page, simpler assurance and reporting on critical risks, and a safety leadership program for supervisors and toolpushers.
Results
  • HSE effort refocused on the critical risks that can cause a fatality
  • Simpler assurance and reporting on critical risks
  • Administrative load down about 40%
  • Critical control verification up from 60% to 95%
  • Simplified documents adopted as the operator standard

Offshore oil and gas

Offshore exploration program under NOPSEMA

The situation
A multi-well offshore gas exploration program under NOPSEMA, with a semi-submersible rig, marine and aviation support, and a contractor workforce to bring under one safety case.
The work
Embedded HSE support through planning and execution, working with the operator's team: safety case revision and gap analysis, contractor onboarding and vetting, bridging documents, emergency response review, and aviation, marine and rig assurance, with advice to senior management throughout.
Results
  • Safety case revision and gap analysis supported
  • Contractors onboarded, vetted and bridged before mobilisation
  • Emergency response arrangements reviewed
  • Aviation, marine and rig assurance led through execution
  • NOPSEMA audits attended and supported

Safety management system overhaul, LNG facility

The situation
A system grown to more than 400 documents, many contradictory or unused, found unfit for purpose by a regulatory audit.
The work
Gap analysis, the library cut to 85 core documents, procedures rewritten in plain language with frontline input, and a bowtie workshop for the top 10 major accident events.
Results
  • Document library cut by more than 75% with regulatory coverage kept
  • Procedures rewritten in plain language with frontline input

Pipelines and transmission

Pipeline commissioning, eastern Australia

The situation
A high-pressure gas pipeline crossing three jurisdictions, where a delay at any one regulator's hold point would stall the whole project.
The work
The approvals pathway mapped for all three jurisdictions before commissioning, compliance evidence built alongside the work, and field controls verified on site.
Results
  • All hold points cleared without delay
  • Commissioning completed without a compliance stall

HSE program uplift, drilling contractor

The situation
A mid-tier contractor with rejected prequalification submissions and inconsistent documents putting key client relationships at risk.
The work
Gap analysis against operator prequal standards, then a new, simpler system structure that closed the gaps. We spoke with each of the contractor's clients to understand what their submissions needed, and built the responses around that.
Results
  • Prequalification accepted by two major operators within 90 days
  • Efficiencies found through a new, simpler system structure
  • Gaps addressed and documents simplified
  • Submission responses developed with multiple clients

OnePack: contractor prequalification, built in house

The situation
Contractors answer the same prequalification questions again and again: a different operator, a different portal, a different spreadsheet, and the same insurance, licences, policies and HSE evidence each time. Evidence quietly expires between submissions, and a contractor's HSE person can spend days rebuilding a pack that already exists in another format.
The work
We built OnePack, a prequalification platform that works the way the problem actually happens. The contractor loads their documents once into an evidence library. The platform maps them to each operator's questions, including fully custom questionnaires, and AI drafts every answer from the contractor's own documents for a competent person to check. Gaps are flagged before anything is submitted, evidence expires automatically (12 months, or 24 for signed policies), and the finished pack exports in the operator's own format. A consultant workspace lets one prequal consultant manage many client companies.
Results
  • Admin on repeatable prequal tasks cut by about 80%
  • Answer once, reuse across operators and custom questionnaires
  • Very little rework on submissions
  • Prequal work transferred in-house rather than outsourced
  • Expiry tracked automatically, no manual dates across 150+ documents
  • Gaps found before submission, not after rejection
