Employment History:

Registered Tutor on Institution of Chemical Engineers' Continuing Education Programme. Has delivered courses worldwide on behalf of the Institution on HAZOP, HAZOP Leadership and FMEA.

The mixing of mud, its delivery to / collection from the well, and subsequent treatment, during the drilling of an oil well have been studied using HAZOP methodology.

Modifications to a pharmaceutical pelleting plant have been studied using HAZOP methodology.

Advice to a major engineering contractor designing tools, equipment and services for a facility fabricating high explosive components is being provided. Design Justification Reports for the process and individual tools are being formulated.

Guidance documents for the engineering aspects (substantiation and design basis analysis) of the safety case for a large UK government facility (nuclear and explosive handling) were formulated. Design Assessment Reports for this facility were reviewed, and ALARP guidance formulated.

The seal gas supplies to a large North African oil production field were studied using HAZOP methodology.

Multiple sponsored training courses in HAZOP and HAZOP Leadership have been provided. Several bespoke in-company courses have been run, including to oil & gas, pharmaceutical and construction companies, and in locations from Kazakhstan through the Middle East and North Africa to the Republic of Ireland.

Advice is provided on EHS matters to a number of Construction companies, including the formulation of policies, plans and method statements in support of MHSW (and construction bespoke) Regulations and the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations compliance.

The completion of a large construction project at a major UK airport was studied using HAZOP methodology.

Multiple HAZOP and other fault identification studies have been carried out in support of the decommissioning of a nuclear reactor complex.

The operability of an effluent treatment plant for a large integrated paperboard mill has been examined. Over 100 recommendations for improvement were made, which the client has implemented as part of their environmental strategy.

The building services (ventilation, water, electrical and gas supplies etc.) to a Research & Development Facility have been studied. This requirement was recognised late in the progress of the 'design & build' contract, but was completed to time and cost. Despite the plant being at an advanced stage of design and construction, over 140 substantive improvements were recognised and have been implemented.

Advice on a safety case for a facility awaiting decommissioning has been provided to a tenderer for the decommissioning work.

The Health & Safety Manual of a company has been examined and made consistent with the Construction Safety Manual of the parent company.

The safety management structure of a company offering security services to various industrial (including high hazard) sites has been reviewed and improvements instituted. A suitable Health & Safety Policy, including risk assessments, has been formulated and implemented.

The operability of a (£10M) store and handling facilities for paperboard reels has been examined, resulting in over 70 recommendations for improvement.

The safety and operability of an automatically guided vehicle system within a factory environment has been assessed.

The implementation of the safety case for a waste storage plant has been reviewed.

The safety and operability of a guillotine system for the size reduction of paperboard reels has been investigated using HAZOP methodology.

The safety and operability of a plant intended to produce solvent based lacquers for cellophane manufacture has been examined using HAZOP methodology. Over 150 recommendations for improvement were made.

Advice on Health & Safety matters was provided to a tenderer for the re-roofing of a stately home.

Documents substantiating the discharge authorisation requirements from nuclear power stations have been formulated.

Extensive input to the management of a large safety case publication project, aimed at nuclear licensing of several UK Government sites has been provided. In addition, a number of direct studies have been carried out for such sites, including construction and explosives handling safety.

European Community Research & Development in Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Retrieval has been examined and referenced to a company technology plan.

Waste disposal operations at a major pharmaceutical research facility have been studied using HAZOP methodology. Over 50 recommendations for improvement were made.

Significant input was provided to the EH&S audit of the safety management system within a large contractorised site. This was aimed at providing advice and assistance in meeting regulatory concerns.

The bulk fluid supplies to a nuclear power station have been studied using HAZOP methodology to identify potential cross-contamination routes.

The crowd control arrangements in Trafalgar Square for New Year celebrations (in particular on 31 December 1999) have been studied using HAZOP methodology.

Courses on Technical Report Writing have been delivered to clients in UK and abroad.

A series of training courses on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis has been run for major companies and for IChemE.

Reports justifying the safety of proposed operations have been "peer reviewed".

The technical safety considerations relating to early design of control and instrumentation systems on a nuclear submarine have been investigated and documented for use. These same systems have been studied using FMEA methodology.

The Hazard Log for an advanced warship design has been systematically examined to ensure consistency of treatment over ~1600 hazard entries. In addition a number of discrete HAZOP/FME(C)A studies of systems (eg explosive magazines, fire, weapon systems, personnel movement, ship stability, aviation operations, replenishment) on this ship have been undertaken.

The safety management of the construction and operation of a large land based weapon system has been documented and improved.

The disposal plan for the tender phase of a land based weapons system project has been formulated.

The proposed installation of a deck crane onto an existing aircraft carrier has been studied using HAZOP methodology.

Many deterministic and quantitative safety reports have been formulated to justify the continued operation or commissioning/decommissioning of nuclear plant.

The safety of a water treatment plant in a large public swimming pool has been examined and multiple improvements identified following the raising of regulatory concerns and several significant incidents.
