Closing the gap on worker and operational safety with a centralized platform for process safety and effective risk management in the petrochemicals industry
Petrochemical plants can pose a significant danger to workers, the population, and the environment. Daily risks stem from handling, storage, and process management of hazardous materials, as well as proximity to oil refineries. Concerns range from the physical dangers of chemical exposure to mechanical and operational failures such as sensor malfunction, improper valve or pump alignment, eroded seals, and incorrect readings. Faulty and unmonitored processes can cause safety issues such as leaks and contamination, dangerous pressure buildup and uncontrollable heat leading to thermal runaway and hazardous, explosive chemical reactions.
GOARC’s safety solution answers the critical need to improve communications and data transfer across plant operations, providing dynamic risk assessment and enhanced control of process safety for petrochemical-based activities. Real-time status of workers and processes enables optimal safety management that combines sensor and detector data with information from operators in the field for time-sensitive alerts and rapid response in a complex work environment. GOARC’s platform provides a strategic view of operations and equipment, a central data source, and the tools to connect and interface between all systems including workers, assets, and processes.
GOARC’s centralized safety management platform integrates advanced technology, data, and artificial intelligence to enhance the connection between the control room and operators in the field, for proactive process safety. An integrated and accurate virtual and physical view of processes verifies critical real-time data, incorporates operator input into the system, monitors high-risk activities, inspections, equipment checks and maintenance to effectively prevent incidents and mitigate the consequences of emergency scenarios.
