Experts in Incident Management, Litigation Support and Process Safety Management
At IFO Group, we are a team of specialized experts in incident management and process safety management. We are frequently called upon by law firms to provide incident management expertise, litigation support, and guidance after catastrophic events. With a track record of managing investigations of some of the most significant fires, explosions and industrial incidents in the past decade, our expertise is unparalleled.
Incident Management
When a catastrophic incident occurs, whether it involves a fire, explosion, structural collapse, toxic chemical release, pipeline failure or occupational fatality, IFO Group is your go-to partner for incident management. Our team offers cost-effective major loss investigation services, with a focus on determining the cause and origin of these critical events.
Litigation Support
IFO Group provides litigation support to corporate and outside counsel clients who need independent evaluations of occupational health and safety and process safety programs. Our experts often deliver litigation support across a wide range of cases from transportation accidents to occupational injuries and fatalities, fires and explosions.
Process Safety Management
Our Process Safety Management (PSM) experts are equipped to help you identify, analyze and mitigate hazards associated with fires, explosions, and hazardous chemical releases. We develop comprehensive PSM programs that emphasize the safety of your people, processes and equipment ensuring significant risks to your organization are reduced or eliminated.
Recent Project
IFO Group was retained to investigate a fire and subsequent explosion at Freeport LNG. According to an incident report filed at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the fire resulted in the release of carbon monoxide, NOx, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide and other non-methane volatile organic compounds. Freeport LNG said the release of these substances into the air was the result of burning piping insulation and cabling. Additionally, flaring occurred at Freeport LNG’s Pretreatment Facility due to the unplanned shutdown of Freeport LNG’s liquefaction plant. Our incident management and process safety management expertise played a critical role in determining the cause of the explosion.
How IFO Group Can Help
Third-Party Audits
IFO Group auditors have extensive experience in providing third-party independent assessments and audits to clients with diverse and complex operations. Because of our own management system implementation experience, we can clearly define where compliance gaps are most commonly found.
Training
IFO Group staff has extensive experience in providing educational Occupational Health, Safety and Security training services to clients. We offer prepared courses and custom packages to fill a specific need. Classes can range in length from 20-minute computer-based sessions to comprehensive 80-hour courses of over two weeks in length.
Staffing
IFO Group is frequently requested to provide outside expertise when a company does not have the bandwidth or internal ability to address identified gaps and weaknesses. With Retainer Services Plans, a client can expect a flat, predictable fee each month in exchange for access to occupational health, safety, and industrial hygiene expertise.
Laser Scanning
IFO Group offers various forensic LIDAR (laser) scanning and drone photogrammetry services directly related to incident preservation and facility modeling. IFO Group has experienced 3D laser scanning professionals and licensed drone pilots to offer various scanning and mapping services.
Dust Hazard Analysis
IFO Group experts perform a dust hazard analysis (DHA) to identify and evaluate the hazards posed by various dusts. As a result, employers or facility owners can gain a better understanding of the risks associated with combustible dust and implement controls.
Occupational Health & Safety
IFO Group has experts on staff who can help you analyze the potential causes and consequences of a variety of hazards ranging from fires and explosions to the release of hazardous chemicals and put a PSM plan into place.
