Risk Assessments and Safety Studies
ESR’s Safety and Risk Management business is focused on the delivery of safety and risk solutions that will benefit your organisation. Through the delivery of thousands of risk-based studies for clients, we have developed skills and software for risk assessment that help businesses remain safe and profitable.
Our expertise covers all aspects of Risk Assessment including:
- Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for both onshore and offshore facilities
- Consequence Analysis (Including CFD)
- Major Hazard Safety Studies (EERA, ESSA, Dropped Objects, PFEER)
- Fire Safety Support for Buildings, as per Fire Safety Order (2005)
- Fire and Explosion Risk Assessments (FERA)
- Toxic and Flammable Gas Ingress Assessment
- Hazard Identification (HAZIDs, HAZOPs)
- Frequency Analysis (Fault and Event Tree Analysis, Parts Count)
- Occupied Building Risk Assessments (OBRA)
- Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- ALARP demonstration and cost-benefit analysis
- Business Risk Management
- SIMOPs and COMOPs Risk Assessment
