PHA and Fire Safety Study for six BESS sites
Case study overview
A confidential client, planning to build hundreds of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities across the state, has awarded Risk and Safety Solutions Melbourne (RSSM) the responsibility for conducting safety assessments for the first six sites of their Stage 1 deployment.
As the client embarks on this large-scale rollout, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance is paramount. RSSM’s role involves conducting Preliminary Hazard Analyses (PHA) and Fire Safety Studies (FSS) to identify and mitigate risks while ensuring the facilities meet all relevant safety standards and regulations.
Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)
– We conducted a detailed PHA for each of the first six sites, identifying potential hazards, evaluating risks, and recommending control measures to ensure the safety of the facilities.
Fire Safety Study (FSS)
– For each site, we developed a Fire Safety Study to assess the adequacy of fire detection, prevention, and protection systems.
Our approach and services

Outcome and impact
