ROWAN HOUSE Ltd. has a culture of safety that has been honed by its
dealings with the major process manufacturing companies. Our
technical staff are principally chemical engineers that have
expertise developed across a broad spectrum of the process
industries. This means that we are familiar with the type of
materials that you handle and can provide expert advice on how to
process them safely.
Accident Investigation
Dr John Cox leads our accident investigation team and audits our
safety work. John is a Registered Safety Professional and a Fellow of
the Institution of Chemical Engineers and an Expert Witness and
Member of the Academy of Experts.
We have carried out investigations on behalf of loss adjusters where
process plant has catastrophically failed and, at other times,
participated as team members of other incident investigations. Our
independence and expertise means that the findings are robust and
withstand close scrutiny.

Safety Reviews - We offer to undertake safety reviews at any point
during a plant life in order to assess the risk associated with a
particular design. We offer expertise in hazardous area designs for
both gases and dusts and, for example, have specific experience in
the assessment of sewage sludge drying plant and are able to advise
on explosion prevention and mitigation techniques for this
particularly dangerous material.
