To address these often unknown hazards, we bring in an independent, experienced team to analyze, prioritize, and develop innovative solutions for hazard prevention and mitigation, tailored to your specific needs and budget - whether the hazards involve combustible dust, flammable liquids, toxic materials, or other novel challenge

Driving Innovation + Enhancing Credibility

We work with each stakeholder to understand the perspectives that must be considered. Our team members come from diverse backgrounds, including consulting, manufacturing, enforcement (fire marshals) and insurance, which informs our approach to maintaining safety while considering diverse and sometimes conflicting objectives.

Our clients can expect detailed assessments of a wide range of facility requirements, including fire protection and process safety, exposures to business continuity, and code compliance. We deliver unbiased analysis of client needs, develop recommendations for improvement, and aid in prioritizing and implementing solutions.
