This presentation outlines a practical facility siting lifecycle—from corporate practices and initial siting studies through detailed assessment, remediation planning, implementation, and management of change. Key components of an effective mitigation plan are discussed, including hazard and building inventories, risk-based prioritization, alignment with turnaround and capital project schedules, cost estimation, and documentation to support ongoing tracking and PHA revalidation.
Mitigation measures such as occupancy changes, inherently safer process modifications, structural and non-structural building upgrades, shelter-in-place versus evacuation strategies, and interim risk-reduction actions are illustrated through case studies. Attendees will gain a practical roadmap for turning facility siting findings into implementable, risk-informed mitigation plans.
