Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Implementation, integration, and maintaining chemical process safety aspects in manufacturing plants by application of suitable techniques from the development stage to commercialization of existing and new products.
• Process safety discussions for new/ running products for process safety requirements w.r.t Safety testings & plant engineering controls.
• Review operating parameters in the view of various studies like RC, DSC, RSD, ARC, Micro RC, MIE, MIT, Powder resistivity, Dust Explosion, Layer ignition, Ignition sensitivity, Explosion severity, Impact Sensitivity, etc., and make necessary changes in plant operations. Interpret test results & recommend suitable engineering and operational controls.
• Risk assessment of new and existing manufacturing processes through an appropriate method like HAZOP, LOPA, QRA, HIRA, and PSSR and undertake corrective action /preventive measures to minimize potential process safety risks.
• Implement the systems so that process safety requirements are addressed in different stages of the plant i.e. design, projects, commissioning, and operations. Develop process safety information for chemicals and processes.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of various controls deployed to avoid process safety incidents. For example: to check the adequacy of cooling/heating, scrubber calculations, etc.
• Identification and evaluation of high-consequence activities/materials and adequate controls.
• Participate and ensure timely investigation of Process Safety Incidents, identification of corrective actions for deviations, and monitoring implementation.
