Following on from Elio Stocco’s presentation at HAZARD Australasia in 2018, the Risk Engineering Society (RES) invited R4Risk to present at one of their events. The aim of the RES is to promote risk engineering, communicate and share lessons learned, facilitate collaboration between members and risk professionals and provide expert advice to stakeholders.

The same concepts in Elio’s presentation at HAZARDS Australasia was presented again in October by Lachlan Dreher (Director and Principal Risk Consultant).
