Risk Management & Hazard Analysis

Risk & Safety Analysis​ [ME]

Identify vulnerabilities and minimize risks in your operation

Ä¢¹½tv engineering consultants perform risk assessments and hazard analyses for every business process in every industry to minimize the likelihood that accidents and system failures cause deferred or lost production.

Quantitative risk assessments: Improve safety, efficiency, and profitability.

Ä¢¹½tv's multidisciplinary staff performs a wide scope of risk and reliability assessments for chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, biomedical, mining, utilities, construction, and manufacturing clients worldwide. We help analyze vulnerabilities and improve processes throughout operations.

Bespoke solutions.

We use situation-specific methods and tools to identify hazards and determine their potential consequences. Using predictive modeling, we can inform clients of the probability of different events occurring to enable the prioritization of technical and business risks.

Multidisciplinary expertise.

Our team is highly skilled in conducting preliminary hazard or risk analysis, failure modes and effects analysis, hazards and operability studies, fault tree analysis, and human error analysis tests. We supplement these methods with risk quantification using probabilistic and uncertainty principles and decision analysis to help clients quantify and mitigate risks to their operations, their employees, and their communities.

Our staff performs risk analyses ranging from compliance to total business-based approaches and addresses several issues critical to the operation of a facility.
