Your Process Safety
Partner of Choice

Process safety is the proactive management of hazards in industrial processes involving chemicals, flammable materials, and reactive substances.

Effective process safety prevents catastrophic events like explosions, fires, and toxic releases, protecting employees, assets, and reputation.

Poor process safety can result in regulatory fines, production shutdowns, and devastating incidents like the Buncefield explosion or Texas City refinery disaster.

Sigma-HSE helps businesses embed safety into every stage of operations, from design to production, ensuring compliance with COMAH, DSEAR/ATEX, PSM, and other international standards.

Sigma-HSE combines technical expertise with practical, actionable safety solutions.

We partner with clients to implement safer processes, reduce operational risk, and ensure regulatory compliance. With engineers across the UK, India, and the USA, we prevent workplace incidents through data-driven risk assessments.

Our UKAS-accredited ISO/IEC:17025 laboratory covers Dusts & Powders, DSC, and ARC testing. We provide testing solutions and strategic guidance tailored to your specific site and industry needs. Unlike other competitors who may focus on consulting or certifications, we integrate testing and consulting for faster, more actionable outcomes.

Any industry handling hazardous materials or operating processes with fire/explosion risks requires process safety assessments.

Our core sectors include pharmaceuticals (especially API production and spray drying), agrochemicals, pesticides, and food and beverage processing. We also serve paint and coatings, aerospace, chemical manufacturing, CDMOs/CMOs, battery manufacturing, and metal processing.

If your process involves combustible dusts, flammable gases, reactive chemicals, or high-pressure/temperature operations, you need process safety expertise.

We combine engineering rigour with practical solutions.

Projects begin with understanding your processes through site visits and document review. We then conduct systematic risk assessments (HAZOP, HAZID, DSEAR) and laboratory testing when needed. Finally, we provide clear recommendations prioritised by risk level and implementation cost (if required).

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every project is tailored to your operational context, regulatory requirements, budget constraints, and safety culture. This ensures safe, cost-effective, and sustainable outcomes that your team can actually implement.

Yes. Process safety work often uncovers inefficiencies, unsafe practices, and operational risks that impact productivity.

Our recommendations improve process reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and optimise safety controls. They also prevent batch losses and deliver measurable business benefits beyond regulatory compliance.

Safer processes are typically more efficient processes because they operate within well-understood parameters with proper controls.

Absolutely. We support clients worldwide through remote consulting, sample testing at our process safety laboratories (UK & India), and on-site assessments.

Our team understands regional regulations including EU ATEX/Seveso III, US OSHA PSM/NFPA standards, and international codes.

Test reports comply with ISO, ASTM, and EN standards recognised globally.

We’ve completed projects in multiple countries and can deploy consultants internationally for HAZOP facilitation, DSEAR/ATEX/DHA assessments, and incident investigations. Sample shipments are accepted worldwide with proper documentation.

We can often generate a quote within 48–72 hours in the UK and within one week for international projects. We prioritise rapid deployment for urgent DSEAR risk assessments, post-incident investigations, pre-startup safety reviews, and regulatory compliance deadlines. We never compromise quality or thoroughness.

Our laboratory can expedite combustible dust testing to 2-3 business days when needed. CPE testing can also be expedited, but more time is required due to the nature of the testing. emergency situations like regulatory enforcement notices or imminent production starts, we’ve deployed testing programmes within an hour of sample receipt.

We focus on tangible outcomes: reduced incident frequency and severity, safer equipment design, and improved protective systems. We also ensure compliance with DSEAR/ATEX/COMAH regulations and improve safety culture.

Clients often report clearer operating procedures and better risk awareness among operators and engineers. They also see measurable reductions in near misses, process deviations, and safety-related production shutdowns
