Oil, Gas & Energy

In oil, gas, power and renewables the consequence of a control failure is measured in lives and in months of lost production. Management systems in this sector are not administrative overhead; they are one of the barriers between a hazard and an event.

ISO 45001 addresses occupational and process safety governance, with particular weight on contractor control, permit-to-work and management of change — the three areas that recur in serious incident investigations across the sector. ISO 14001 addresses emissions, effluent, spill preparedness and land impact. ISO 50001 addresses the energy performance of energy-intensive operations. ISO 22301 addresses continuity for assets whose unplanned outage propagates well beyond the site.

Third-party inspection is equally significant here: pressure equipment, pipelines, structural fabrication and rotating machinery all rely on independent verification at defined hold points.
