Hazardous substances and dangerous goods are present in many workplaces. If not stored and handled appropriately, these materials can cause fire or explosions and pose a significant risk to people, property and the environment.
Difficulties can arise when safety management for the storage and handling of dangerous goods / hazardous substances is not part of core business. In-house expertise is commonly not available to properly manage the associated risk.
R4Risk’s approach is to provide tailored solutions to each client’s needs. We would review the facility for compliance with the applicable legislation and standards / guidelines and provide advice considering “good practice” and the specific facility requirements.
In many cases, the regulations covering dangerous goods / hazardous substances are performance-based and not purely prescriptive or standards-based.
R4Risk’s consultants have extensive experience in providing performance-based advice, having assisted many Major Hazard Facilities to satisfy their safety and risk management obligations.
R4Risk’s clients can draw on this experience in the application of performance-based risk management approaches across many industries to ensure that the optimum solution for their situation is reached.
R4Risk’s Introduction to Risk Management training is a one-day course designed to educate participants in the principles of identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating and managing the risk of hazardous events.
