Hazard & Risk Assessments

Finding Weak Points Before They Become Failures

Hazards don’t care what industry you’re working in. Whether it’s a petrochemical site, a food plant, or a power station, a hazard is a hazard, and it needs to be understood and controlled with the same level of rigour.

At 6 Engineering, we apply hazard and risk assessment techniques across the full lifecycle of a system.

From design through to decommissioning, and especially during change management, we help you identify how systems are meant to work, how they might deviate, and what must be done to keep them safe.

This isn’t limited to process and functional safety. We also investigate after things go wrong, using hazard and risk assessment tools to uncover root causes and prevent repeat incidents.

What Hazard & Risk Assessments Cover

Hazard and risk assessments are about more than identifying problems on paper, they show how your systems could fail and what needs to be done to prevent it. We apply proven techniques across the full lifecycle, from design to decommissioning, and bring the same rigour whether we’re reviewing a new process, investigating an incident, or checking the impact of a small change.

Why Hazard & Risk Assessments Matter

Weaknesses are easiest to catch before they cause harm. A structured hazard and risk assessment doesn’t just protect your site, it builds regulator confidence and reassures your workforce that risks are being managed properly.

By applying proven methods across all sectors, we make sure hazards are identified early, controls are realistic, and lessons from past incidents aren’t forgotten.

Who It’s For

  • Process and design engineers planning new installations

  • Operators managing live systems and day-to-day change

  • Safety teams responsible for compliance and assurance

  • Managers needing clear evidence of risk management

Our Approach

We combine rigorous methodology with real-world context.

Whether we’re running a formal HAZOP, reviewing safety-critical systems, or supporting an incident investigation, our goal is always the same: clear findings, practical recommendations, and a safer site.
