In the energy transition sector, innovation is measured not only by the purity of the hydrogen produced, but also by the robustness of the safety systems for green hydrogen production. At Lhyfe, a producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) are not merely regulatory obligations: they represent a culture of precision, underpinned by cutting-edge technology and adherence to our established processes.
Near-Miss Management: Safeguarding green hydrogen production through prevention
To ensure industrial safety, we apply a golden rule: there is no such thing as a ‘minor’ anomaly. Whether it is a simple sharp object on the floor or an item left lying around on a worksite, every near-miss is a learning opportunity.
Every such incident is documented with a photograph and recorded in a report to determine whether a root cause analysis is required. This method enables rapid resolution: 100% of identified anomalies are addressed within hours, and 80% are resolved within the same day.
Root cause analysis: Common sense and rigour in the service of prevention
When an incident occurs, there is no room for guesswork. Lhyfe relies on rigorous methodologies such as root cause analysis and the ‘5 Whys’ method:
- Why did the incident occur? (The technical fact)
- Why did this failure occur? (The trigger)
- Why was it not anticipated? (The protocol in place)
- Why did the control system fail to function? (The process)
- Why did the process have this shortcoming? (The root cause)
This Root Cause Analysis process enables us to look far beyond the surface to identify the organisational, technical or human factors that help secure our hydrogen production.
All data collected is incorporated into our Single Document for the Assessment of Occupational Risks (DUERP). This approach enables us to move from reactive safety to proactive prevention, ensuring that every mistake made once becomes a safeguard for the future.
Collective intelligence and RETEX: A global safety network
Green hydrogen is a field of the future that requires constant knowledge sharing. Through our internal communication tools, plant managers and technicians share their feedback (RETEX) in real time. If a safety breach compromising our green hydrogen production is identified at one of our sites, the solution is immediately rolled out across Lhyfe’s entire industrial network.
Beyond our own walls, we actively collaborate with external organisations such as France Hydrogène. By drawing inspiration from global best practices and analysing feedback from our peers, we ensure our customers and partners receive an exemplary level of reliability, even with the most cutting-edge technologies.
ROC: Connected control for guaranteed safety
At Lhyfe, technology is the driving force behind our HSE policy. In the event of a major alert or industrial risk, we have the ROC (Remote Operations Control) at our disposal. This remote control centre allows us to monitor our plants in real time and, if necessary, order the immediate shutdown of a site remotely to ensure the safety of people and the environment.
This ability to respond quickly, combined with complete transparency towards local authorities and prefectures, makes Lhyfe a trusted partner for local communities. Producing clean energy is our mission; doing so with the utmost safety is our commitment to you.
