Offers project elaboration and professional consultations

The Department of Safety and Quality offers project elaboration and professional consultations in the following areas:

 

  

Prevention of major industrial accidents

Elaboration of comprehensive documentation according to the requirements of Act no. 128/2015 Coll. (SEVESO III) as amended and its implementing regulations for both new project units and existing facilities.
This documentation contains of:
1. Company categorization.
2. Major industrial accident prevention program.
3. Safety management system.
4. Risk assessment and evaluation.
5. Emergency plan.
6. Safety report.
For small businesses, we provide documents for spatial planning documentation (zoning decision, EIA) preliminary risk assessment for the purpose of issuing zoning and building permits. We provide training for emergency specialists and emergency technicians.

 

Explosion protection

Elaboration of a document according to the Regulation of the Government of the Slovak Republic no. 393/2006 Coll. (ATEX), which regulates the minimum requirements for ensuring safety and health at work in an explosive environment.
The document contains:
1. A list of stored and handled flammable substances which may create an explosive atmosphere with air.
2. Effective sources of initiation
3. Explosion risk assessment
4. Zone classification
5. Proposed measures.

 

Critical infrastructure security

The department offers consultations and methodologies necessary for the implementation of Act no. 45/2011 Coll. on critical infrastructure.

Development of documentation to ensure operations within the critical infrastructure. This document is prepared in accordance with European legislation and serves to ensure the operability of companies in crisis situations. Specific documents in crisis planning are business continuity plans. The task of business continuity plans is to create technical - organizational measures in companies, operations to manage crisis situations. It is possible to certify the management of these procedures according to ISO 22301:2019.
Continuity plans include:
1. Analytical analysis of external and internal threats, including asymmetric threats (terrorism, biological and social threats). The threats catalog applied in the EU is used.
2. Risk assessment is performed on the basis of a process model.
3. Proposals for measures with regard to the requirements of the European Union, the Slovak Republic and the company (especially for oil and gas pipelines).

 

Pipeline Integrity Management (PIMS)

  1. Creating a model for risk management of piping systems based on integrity requirements - risk matrix, hazard specification, weighting factors, both for the purpose of their design and construction, and for the purpose of diluting their operation and maintenance.

  2. Design of a concept for dynamic segmentation of piping systems based on the results of risk assessment.

  3. Quantification of the range of safety zones for defined / segmented piping systems.

 

Occupational risk assessment

Application of methods and tools in risk assessment:
• For technological units, equipment with regard to the characteristic features of the equipment - technical risks.
• Risk assessment at workplaces in the work process - professional risks.
• Assessment of residual risks in order to meet the conformity requirements of machinery.

 

 

Health and safety management systems

System implementation - complex activities associated with employee training, creation of documentation.
Consulting - consulting and professional supervision in the whole spectrum of activities within the implementation of the system or at full operation of the system.
Internal audits - verification of the system in the process of its implementation and after implementation.
Systems according to: ISO 45001, ISO 22301.

 

Quality management systems

System implementation - complex activities associated with employee training, creation of documentation.
Consulting - consulting and professional supervision in the whole spectrum of activities within the implementation of the system or at full operation of the system.
Internal audits - verification of the system in the process of its implementation and after implementation.
Systems according to: ISO 9001, IATF 16949.

 

Integrated management systems

Implementation of an integrated system - complex activities associated with employee training, creation of documentation.
Consulting - advice and professional supervision in the whole spectrum of activities within the implementation of the system / systems or in their full operation. Processing and preparation of KPIs for the purpose of process evaluation.
Internal audits - verification of the system / systems in the process of their implementation and after implementation.
Systems according to: ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 45001.
Method of integration: implemented on an existing system, integration of newly created ones

 

 

Maintenance management

Department of Safety and Quality for Maintenance Management of Technical Equipment provides the following tasks for practice:
• Risk assessment of mechanical - technical equipment in order to determine the actual state of equipment, especially application of RCM, RBI in petrochemical, chemical and selected plants.
• Consultation and preparation of TPM implementation.
• Design of a maintenance strategy based on the identification of equipment conditions. Identification is performed by standard risk assessment methods (also quantitative in the case of RBI): analysis of critical devices (A, B, C), application of FMEA / FMECA methods, outputs in the form of strategies and types of maintenance for the analyzed equipment, benchmarking (KPI) and maintenance audits.
Training courses:
Training focused on maintenance requirements of the RCM, RCM Cost, TPM and RBI concepts.

 

 

Technical diagnostics - vibration diagnostics

Elaboration of a functional model of predictive maintenance, specification of the connection with other processes so that the overall diagnostic of equipment fulfills its function of quality, economics and safety. Measurement and analysis of machines and standing equipment, evaluation of technical condition. Condition evaluation, recommendations and suggestions for repair.
1. Proposal for the division of machinery according to importance in operating conditions - criticality analysis of equipment.
2. Design of time intervals for vibration measurement and analysis. Harmonization of evaluation tables for vibration measurement and analysis based on ISO 13373.
3. Design of vibrodiagnostic procedures and records of values during inspections and their evaluation while respecting all requirements of ISO 13373.
4. Design of analysis of slow-running machines with speeds from 0.1 to 600 min-1.
