R4Risk can assist organisations to conduct investigations into incidents and near misses in the workplace. Involvement of R4Risk’s facilitators makes their extensive experience with and knowledge of technological and management systems available to the investigation.

Consequence assessment is particularly important for Major Hazard Facilities as the repercussions from an incident may impact people, plant and the surrounding area (community and the environment) a significant distance from the initial source of the hazard.

R4Risk can assist its clients in the development of emergency response scenario plans. These scenario plans provide the client with the information necessary to manage an emergency should such an unfortunate event occur.

The essence of fire safety is to ensure that the fire systems in place and available at a facility are suitable to meet the risks presented by the potential fire scenarios at the facility. This is achieved by modelling the likely impacts of a fire (e.g. tank fire, bund fire, pool fire, jet fire etc.) and then determining the fire protection resources needed to protect against those events.

The adequate identification of hazards is a fundamental step in any risk management process as an unidentified hazard cannot be controlled. Therefore, hazard identification is a critical activity.

R4Risk can provide specialist advice in the determination of the hazardous zones for a facility handling flammable liquids, vapours, gases or dusts. The classifications are performed and documented in accordance with the applicable standards.

R4Risk has experienced HAZOP facilitators available to chair your HAZOP. Their independent facilitation skills will ensure that the HAZOP is conducted efficiently and delivers a balanced output, highlighting potential issues identified with the design or system under analysis.

When relying on fire hydrants, monitors, deluge systems and sprinkler systems to protect a facility, it is critical to ensure that the fire protection systems meet the performance requirements necessary to manage the fire exposures that the facility faces.

With the specific skills in the application of functional safety combined with extensive knowledge of risk and safety management, R4Risk is well-placed to support any organisation with its Safety Instrumented Systems management requirements.

R4Risk can provide guidance on the location and design of temporary and permanently occupied buildings on sites where hazardous materials may present a fire, explosion or toxic hazard to building occupants.
