Emerging Specialization
Lithium Energy Safety
Lithium-based energy packets can challenge normal safety conventions. At ONYX, we are focused on preventing hazardous outcomes with lithium energy systems by applying tried and true techniques to reduce fire threat, while exploring innovative ideas to handle newly emerging threats for stored energy systems.
Industrial Expansion/Maintenance
From chemical manufacturing maintenance projects to large-scale expansions, ONYX is uniquely qualified to handle the hazardous agent component of such operations. We streamline processes and reduce exposure threats on large scale using proven solutions perfected in highly-hazardous environments and emergency response settings.
Chemical Process Safety & Prevention
ONYX is positioned to help small to large companies evaluate complex chemical inventories, handle enterprise-wide chemical safety, and provide suitable controls for industries most challenging chemical agents.
Petrochemical Fire Safety
ONYX Founder's PhD research is focused on industrial firefighter safety when dealing with fires/explosion of crude oil. Exposure to flammable liquids and gases is not limited to thermal hazards, but includes a variety of chemical exposure scenarios based on the materials involved in fire. ONYX experts understand the fire/thermal and chemical hazards and provide comprehensive analysis of the threat to firefighters and facility infrastructure. We can provide expertise on preventing or mitigating the threat of fire and chemical exposure to responders and facility personnel.
Industry support
Emergency Response
ONYX remains ready to support emergency response work sites by providing advanced hazard analysis, exposure prevention, and mitigation consulting. Our focus is protecting the response workforce, particularly those assigned highly-hazardous tasks. Through an in-depth analysis of site hazards and in cooperation with operations planning, our experts quickly establish safe and reasonable tactics to increase work area safety in dynamic conditions.
Transportation
We specialize in assisting transportation companies in safely handling of hazardous commodity by incorporating tools that increase knowledge among the workforce regarding hazard recognition and awareness. ONYX experts are experienced in identify hazardous exposure risk during transportation, loading, and package maintenance. We also design tools to increase hazard communication of new or sophisticated chemical hazards.
Petrochemical/Chemical Manufacturing
ONYX experts have decades of experience supporting petrochemical and chemical manufacturing facilities during expansive projects such as maintenance turnarounds, de-inventory, startup, new process construction, and added processes with unique hazardous material. We can assist you in developing a chemical safety program that addresses evolving process conditions and new chemistry amidst complex a workforce.
Environmental/Waste/Recycling
Environmental projects are expansive and are often challenged by hazardous agent presence at multi-contractor worksites. ONYX experts can design and implement sound chemical safety strategies during the execution of large-scale environmental, waste, and recycling projects with a large workforce and a variety of hazards.
