Facility Siting Study
Facility Siting is used to assess the location of buildings based upon known hazards. ACM is a leading provider of facility siting services, performing many corporate facility siting studies for a wide range of explosion, fire and toxic material hazards in refining, petrochemical and specialty chemical processes.
OSHA`s PSM regulations require that facility siting be addressed in Process Hazard Analysis (PHA). Facility siting involves the assessment of the possible impacts of fire and explosion on life safety, structures, and equipment as well as the effects of releases of toxic substances and their ingress into buildings. Facility siting includes, but is not limited to, the spatial relationship between the hazards of a process and the location(s) of people in the facility, particularly in occupied buildings such as control rooms.
