Risktec Solutions services

Availability, Reliability and Maintainability (ARM or RAM) analysis determines the likelihood of plant failure and the time necessary to return the plant to an operational state.  This allows the operator to meet availability targets for production throughput and reliability targets for systems to have sufficient spares and maintenance personnel, and to assure ease of maintenance.

Most risk assessments present a snapshot of the controls in place for a hazard at a particular moment in time. What is often missing is the link between the controls as they are today and the systems for ensuring they will continue to be effective tomorrow.

An event such as a fire, loss of power, IT failure, supplier failure or terrorist attack can be a significant occurrence in the life of any organisation, directly affecting its ability to fulfil its business objectives. Risktec provides an extensive range of Business Continuity Management (BCM) services to ensure that critical business activities, systems and processes can continue in the event of a major incident.

We work with our clients to identify major risk exposures and evaluate their relative significance to predict the total risk profile of the business. This includes property, safety, environmental, and any consequential business interruption and damage to reputation or asset.

Risktec is a leading provider of specialist engineering, project management and safety resource to support our clients` activities by working at their main offices, project locations or industrial sites, anywhere in the world.  The support is delivered by our professional resource solutions business, ASTEC, which accesses a pool of over 500 professional associates.  The majority of our associates have many years experience working in senior engineering and projects roles in the energy and transportation sectors.

A robust Competency Management (CM) system that is fully aligned to business objectives will help provide appropriately skilled and qualified personnel. This improves resource planning and operational effectiveness, and demonstrates compliance with regulatory or industry requirements.

Major fires can have severe consequences for people, the environment, assets and company reputation. The optimum approach to managing fire and explosion hazards will involve a unique combination of measures, from fire prevention and incident detection, through process control, to fire protection, fire-fighting and major emergency response. Risktec has successfully enhanced and applied a unique approach of participative, cost-effective fire hazard management with an emphasis on practical risk reduction solutions and their implementation. We take a risk and performance-based approach to address fire hazards and meet the intent of codes. Our approach is well accepted by both industry and governing authorities.

Risktec delivers a wide range of services for the systematic identification, evaluation and control of risks to the environment. Clients receive the benefit of our consultants` ability to identify, assess and implement effective management and operational controls to mitigate environmental impacts, minimise waste and increase efficiency.

The major objective of process safety management (PSM) is to prevent unwanted releases of hazardous chemicals, particularly in areas that could expose workers and the public to serious hazards. An effective PSM programme requires a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating and managing process hazards. Risktec consultants are industry experts in PSM who share their practical experience and knowledge to provide clients with a pragmatic approach to PSM compliance.
