Risk analysis

Risk management

Risk management is an important aspect of industrial operations as it aims to ensure :

  • The safety of people (workers, visitors or local residents)
  • Environmental protection
  • The integrity of industrial facilities and the reduction of production losses
  • Brand image

Prevention of industrial risks

The aim of an industrial risk analysis is to obtain a precise, methodical and as exhaustive as possible assessment of the risks represented by an industrial facility or equipment. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to:

  • Carry out a systematic search for all feared events
  • Evaluate these events in terms of occurrence and severity
  • Identify ways of reducing causes and/or severity

Example of risk matrix

Risk analysis is a generic term. There are many ways of carrying it out. The most effective methods are systematic analyses of deviations or failures, or brainstorming techniques such as HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA(C), What-If and C-What-If.

Sertius can help you define and implement the industrial risk analysis approach best suited to your needs, depending on your facility and/or the progress of your project (definition, design, modification, revamping, extension, etc.). We can also organize practical training as part of a real study, or detailed training based on an “à la carte” program tailored to your needs.
