Barrier ManagemenT ™

Barrier Management is a fundamental aspect of process safety management; Not only about compliance or avoiding accidents, but also ensuring operational excellence, protecting people and the planet.

Barrier Management is a critical component of process safety in industries that handle hazardous substances, such as the oil and gas industry.

It involves the identification, implementation, and maintenance of physical or technical measures and non-physical measures or barriers designed to prevent accidents or minimise their impact. These barriers can be technical or physical, such as safety valves, containment systems, and firewalls. Or they can be human barriers such as procedures, training, and emergency response plans.

Presight Operational Risk Assessment

In the incidents where a complex risk assessment is not needed management can override the barrier status.

Presight Barrier Management allows you to drill-into barrier elements to bring up relevant details to ensure desicion making on your Safety Critical Elements (SECE). 

Timely and Automated notifications

Presight Barrier Management supports notifications which allows decision makers such as Operations managers (OIM) or HSE managers to take action days in advance before undesired events are permitted to occur.

Different perspectives
