What Professional certification would you recommend and what area could he focus - a Chemical Engineer with vast experience (12yrs) in safety mangaement, safety risk assessment, facility integrity audits, pipelines design and assets ageing and extension studies in the Oil and Gas industry seeking to establish as a consultant?

Any suggestions

How about a P.E.? If you are going to offer services to the public as an engineer, you will need it. As for other "certifications", they mean little depending on the integrity of the certifying group and general acceptance of such by the profession.
 
I agree with Ron. PE is probably the most meaningful credential an engineer can get.
 
Unless you operate in exempt industry where is may be of little or no use (unless or until you set out your own shingle as a contractor).

Posting guidelines faq731-376 (probably not aimed specifically at you)
What is Engineering anyway: faq1088-1484
