Sphera Process Safety

Sphera's Process Safety and Operational Risk Management solutions provide comprehensive tools for risk assessment methods including HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA, and fault tree analysis, control of work, master data management, and incident investigation. The solutions came through the 2019 Petrotechnics acquisition, giving Sphera a distinctive operational risk offering that few EHS competitors match.

For mining, these tools help companies implement a common operational risk framework across sites and departments, aligning risk registers, control of work procedures, and incident learning in a single environment. Vale uses Sphera's risk framework to integrate and prioritise risks globally across its operations.

SpheraCloud Process Safety is typically deployed as part of the broader SpheraCloud suite, and is particularly relevant for open-pit and underground mines with significant process safety risks, as well as minerals processing facilities and smelters where major hazard legislation applies.
