Gas Release Risk Assessment

A structured assessment of potential gas release scenarios, likely causes and consequences, and the controls needed to reduce risk. Supports safer operations, emergency planning and stronger compliance evidence - especially where gases are stored, distributed or used in enclosed areas.​

​​

What We Assess

Gas release risk assessments focus on how and where a loss of containment could occur, and the impact this may have on people, property, and operations.

​

This typically includes:

• Identification of credible gas release scenarios

• Review of causes such as equipment failure, human error, or damage

• Assessment of consequences, including exposure, oxygen deficiency, or fire risk

• Evaluation of existing control and detection measures

• Review of ventilation, alarm, and emergency arrangements

​

The scope is defined to reflect real operating conditions.

​

How the Service Is Delivered

• Review of systems, gases, and operating activities

• Site inspection and observation (where required)

• Structured risk evaluation using recognised methodologies

• Proportionate recommendations aligned with practical capability

​

The emphasis is on controls that are realistic and effective in day-to-day use.

​

When Gas Release Assessment Is Most Useful

• Use of gases in enclosed or confined spaces

• High-volume storage or distribution systems

• Following incidents, near misses, or system changes

• Supporting emergency response and contingency planning

• Demonstrating compliance and risk management

​

What You Get

• Site-specific gas release risk assessment

• Clear identification of hazards and risk drivers

• Defined control and mitigation measures

• Documentation suitable for compliance and inspection
