CHEMICAL, OIL & GAS

From the first alarm to the last worker at the muster point

In a hazardous facility response is measured in seconds, the network may not be there, and ordinary phones aren't allowed in classified areas. Fawz turns a fire or gas alarm into instant activation of the right roles, works on ATEX devices without a network, and proves who reached the muster point.

THE CHALLENGE

What a facility HSE manager faces

High hazard, little time, and no room for confusion.

TODAYThe fire and gas panel sounds the alarm, but who is responding is only known minutes later.

WITH FAWZAn alarm from the panel or building system activates the code directly, and the cards reach the right roles at once.

TODAYMuster headcount is done on paper and radio, and a missing person is found late.

WITH FAWZCheck-in at muster points and zones, so the incident commander sees who is still unaccounted for.

TODAYOrdinary phones are banned in classified areas, and the network is weak.

WITH FAWZATEX devices with an SOS key, UHF radio for voice and short messages with no network, and every module working offline.

TODAYSmoke and darkness hide casualties.

WITH FAWZA thermal camera on the ATEX device to locate affected people in smoke and low visibility.

TODAYHot-work and confined-space permits are on paper, and gas tests aren't tracked.

WITH FAWZPermits with their requirements: atmospheric testing at set intervals, fire watch, attendant, isolation and LOTO.

TODAYA change to equipment or process goes ahead without its risks assessed.

WITH FAWZManagement of change and job hazard analysis before work, with significant hazards sent to the risk register.

PROPOSED CODES

A code set for hazardous facilities

A starting set built on hazardous-facility scenarios, adapted to your facility's emergency response plan.

Fire or explosionIn process units, tank farms or warehouses

Toxic gasHydrogen sulphide (H₂S) or other toxic gas release

Flammable gasHydrocarbon release or lower explosive limit reached

Chemical spillHazardous material spill or loss of containment

Man down / medicalInjury, medical case, or a lone worker not responding

Technical rescueFrom a confined space or from height

Muster & evacuationGo to muster points and account for everyone

Shelter in placeStay in safe buildings and shut ventilation

Security threatIntrusion or threat to critical infrastructure

Environmental releaseRelease to soil, water or sea

Process upsetLoss of power, utilities or process control

Severe weatherSandstorm, extreme heat or flash flood

Codes, names and levels are configured to your facility's plan and your company's internal standards.

RESPONSE LEVELS

Three levels, by the size of the incident

Each level has its own message, instructions and audience, with automatic escalation when nobody responds.

Tier 1

A local incident handled with unit or site resources.

Tier 2

A facility-wide incident with emergency response teams and mutual aid.

Tier 3

An incident needing external authorities: Civil Defense and the competent agencies.

✓

All clear

The situation is over — safe return with clear instructions.

Roles in the response plan

Incident commanderControl room operatorEmergency response teamFire teamGas testerMuster wardensMedicSecurityEnvironmental officer

Each role has an action card for every code, and every code has an escalation chain and a drill frequency.

CAPABILITIES

What a hazardous-facility HSE manager needs

Fire and gas panel integration

Through BACnet, Modbus and legacy protocols, down to dry-contact relays.

Eight permit types

Hot work, confined space, excavation, scaffolding, pressure tests, electrical/LOTO, chemical storage, lifting.

Job hazard analysis

Following OSHA 3071, with the hierarchy of controls and residual risk.

Management of change

Assess, review and approve a change before it's made, to your procedures.

Protection system readiness

Maintenance and test orders for fire systems and emergency power, with a readiness %.

Secure chat and a sealed record

Incident chat on servers inside the Kingdom; a record no one can edit undetected.
