Project & Turnaround Management

Safety-minded project and construction managers who bring critical work in safely, on schedule and under budget.

Critical projects need to come in safely, on time and under budget. Safety First Group provides EHS and construction project management with deep knowledge of oil and gas, putting experienced, safety-minded managers on high-risk jobsites where the margin for error is small.

Safety-minded project and construction managers

Our project and construction managers know that a project is not a success if someone gets hurt delivering it. They plan the work with safety built in from the start, manage contractors to the same standard, and keep schedule and budget pressure from turning into shortcuts.

Complete project teams

We can place a single manager or staff the whole team, including:

  • project managers
  • project engineers
  • construction managers
  • schedulers
  • planners

From feasibility to commissioning

We support every phase of a capital project:

  • feasibility assessment, option analysis and value engineering studies
  • project definition, estimating and execution planning
  • market assessment and contracting strategies
  • the RFQ process, from CP planning to RFQ evaluation
  • construction and completion
  • quality assurance and QA/QC
  • commissioning

Getting the early phases right is where most of a project’s cost and safety performance is decided. Bringing an experienced team in at feasibility, rather than at construction, keeps those decisions grounded in how the facility will actually be built and run.

Project safety studies: facility siting, HAZOP and LOPA

Project safety management includes the studies a new or modified facility needs, such as facility siting and safety studies including HAZOP and LOPA. Our process safety team runs them as part of the project, so findings shape the design instead of arriving after it.

Turnaround, commissioning and QA/QC support

Turnarounds and start-ups compress a huge amount of high-risk work into a short window. We provide turnaround support, QA/QC and commissioning help alongside our on-site EHS professionals, and our SafetyAnywhere platform gets contractor crews through site orientation before they arrive.

One partner for the project and its safety program

Because SFG also provides EHS consulting, safety training and industrial hygiene, your project leadership and your safety support can come from one trusted source and work to the same standard. That means one point of contact, fewer handoffs between firms and fewer gaps for hazards to slip through.

Proven on major projects

Our project management clients include Hess, Cardon IV and Total Petrochemicals, and we have provided commissioning support for Hess, Cardon IV and DCP Midstream. Our COO led the project to design, build, ship, install and commission a 1.2 Bcf/d gas plant in Venezuela in 18 months.

FAQ

Questions we hear from safety managers.

Do you provide on-site safety personnel, or only consulting?

Both. We place safety professionals, certified industrial hygienists and project teams at client sites as nested contractors, from a few days a month to 24/7/365 coverage. We also do standalone audits, studies and training.

Which process hazard analysis methods do you use?

HAZOP, What-If, Structured What-If (SWIFT), Bow-Tie, LOPA and safety reviews. We also perform facility siting studies, blast studies, ventilation studies and process safety valve (PSV) studies required under OSHA’s PSM standard.

Can you write our safety policies and procedures from scratch?

Yes. We identify each hazard at your location, decide the policy that addresses it and document the procedures behind it, including IH protocols, PPE requirements and all 14 elements of process safety management where hazardous chemicals are involved.

How is your training delivered?

Instructor-led on site, or cloud-based through our SafetyAnywhere platform, which lets employees and contractors complete site-specific orientations and regulatory training before they arrive. Programs cover regulatory, process safety and equipment topics.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Kountze, Texas and work throughout the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast, including Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur and the Golden Triangle. Project teams have supported facilities across the US and abroad.
