Quality, Environment & Work Environment - QHSE

We help ensure that your machine and machine combination meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) safely and smoothly. The CE marking indicates that the machine meets the safety requirements set for it – we help build this whole thing from start to finish.

We compile the documentation required for the CE marking, such as design documents, manufacturing drawings and strength calculations. We also prepare the key documents of the technical file, such as risk assessments, operating and maintenance instructions and declarations of conformity.

We utilize machine type-specific harmonized standards in our work and apply them based on the risk assessment already in the design phase. We also take other directives that affect safety, such as ATEX and PED requirements, into account in the overall process and ensure that they are integrated into the technical documentation correctly and efficiently.

We are involved in making machines and automation solutions safer in a practical way and in cooperation with the customer. Our goal is to make compliance clear, manageable and business-friendly.

We help identify and manage safety risks in industrial sites before they become problems. We use, for example, the HAZOP method in risk assessment, which helps us find critical points and target measures where they have the greatest impact.

Our goal is to ensure a safe working environment, smooth operations and environmental risk management in accordance with the requirements of Finnish chemical legislation. We combine technical expertise, practical experience and clear documentation so that safety solutions also support business continuity and development.

We offer expert support for process safety planning and documentation, especially in accordance with the SFS-EN 61508 functional safety standard. We design and document safety-related systems (TLJ) throughout the entire life cycle – from risk analysis to commissioning and maintenance. Documentation helps identify critical functions and ensure that safety requirements (SIL) are met at all stages.

We also help with the preparation of documentation related to chemical notifications and permit processes. The package may include, for example, chemical inventories, hazard assessments, storage plans, spill management and internal rescue plans.

Our chemical, plant and process safety services support safer, more responsible and more efficient industrial operations.

Understanding energy use is the first step towards more efficient and responsible operations. A company's energy audit provides a clear overview of the energy consumption of a group or company's locations and helps identify where the greatest savings opportunities lie.

With the audit, we find cost-effective ways to improve energy efficiency and assess the concrete savings to be achieved and the necessary measures. At the same time, benefits are created that are visible not only in energy costs but also in production efficiency, environmental impacts and the company's image of responsibility.

Prevas' experts ensure that energy audits are carried out smoothly and in accordance with applicable legislation. Our responsible person, authorized by the Energy Authority, ensures that the mandatory energy audit of a large company every four years and the site audits meet the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act, Government Decrees and the guidelines of the Ministry of Employment and the Economy.

Together, we find solutions that make energy use more efficient - and business more sustainable.
