Risk Assessment Processes
Major industrial activity is intended to provide a benefit to society by converting natural resources and manufacturing useful products, resulting in employment and generating profits for its owners and wealth for the community. However, these activities also have the potential to cause harm or disruption. In this context, risk management is an excellent means of systematically ranking hazards, prioritising issues and identifying controls that prevent their manifestation.

GHD can help you undertake a range of risk management processes ranging from simple matrix or guideword-based qualitative frameworks to detailed quantitative modelling using applications such as @Risk, Plato and DNV’s Safeti. Our services include:

  • HAZOP studies
  • Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
  • Qualitative Risk Assessment 
  • Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
  • Probabilistic risk modelling (Monte Carlo)
  • Reliability and availability studies
  • Risk based maintenance (RBM) analysis
  • Safety Integrity Level (SIL) studies
  • Semi-Quantitative Risk Assessment (SQRA™)

Managing safety

GHD recognises that safety and business performance is influenced not only by assets, materials and operations, but also by people, culture, systems and reputation, and we help clients to understand and better manage all of these.

Systems to manage safety must reflect how your organisation works and GHD customises these tools and approaches to meet your needs and then supports your team from planning to completion. Our services include:

  • Audits and inspections
  • Emergency management
  • HAZOP and HAZOP Leader training
