Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPs) Assessment

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPs) Assessment identifies and manages the additional hazards introduced when two or more high-risk activities, workgroups, or adjacent facilities operate concurrently. SIMOPs studies help prevent escalation, ensure operational control, and safeguard people, assets, and the environment by defining clear roles, interfaces, and controls.

Service information

Map overlapping tasks, work zones, energy sources, and interacting operations, including maintenance, construction, drilling, lifting, hot work, and marine activities
Develop a Matrix of Permitted Operations (MOPO) defining safe combinations of activities, restrictions, and interface requirements
Establish interface management protocols, permit-to-work integration, and cross-discipline coordination responsibilities
Optimise scheduling, isolation planning, physical barriers, and communication protocols to reduce simultaneous risk
Develop SIMOPs procedures, checklists, risk registers, monitoring plans, and escalation protocols for dynamic control
Integrate SIMOPs outcomes into ALARP demonstration, operational risk assessments, and site safety management systems
Provide practical training, workshops, and toolbox talks to embed SIMOPs awareness and responsibilities across teams
