Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

Identifying and understanding hazards and the assessment of risk is fundamental to all businesses. This applies to all working environments from offices, laboratories, workshops, warehouses and manufacturing facilities through to major chemical and nuclear plants.

Many regulations established for specific risk scenarios (fire, manual handling, dangerous substances, substances hazardous to health, major accident hazards, noise, vehicle movements, etc) include requirements for hazard identification and risk assessment.  Corporate risk analysis examines the full range of such hazards and produces a fully comprehensive assessment. Good risk analysis protects a business against potentially damaging effects on turnover and profitability. This supports the drive for further growth and profit generation.

Hazard identification and risk assessment should be viewed as a fundamental business activity, not a drain on resources. This is an integral part of securing the long term profitable development of your business.

You can benefit from our full range of hazard identification and risk assessment services and the experience of our consultants. They fully understand and recognise the inherent limitations of all techniques and models used. This allows adaptation of generic methods and models to meet the particular requirements of your company. Practical and realistic assessments and recommendations are made to improve safety whilst recognising the operational and financial demands on your modern business.
