Let our team of experienced professionals advise you on how to best mitigate your risk in the engineering sector 📞

Earlier today I attended an insightful webinar on Resilience of Engineering Projects ! by Engineering Institute of Technology. The following are my Key takeaways: •Building resilience into projects is crucial for withstanding uncertainty and changes that may occur due to various reasons. •Proactive risk management & adaptability are very essential for successful projects. • Collaboration & communication are vital for resilient project outcomes. It was a great discussion on how to future-proof engineering projects! #EngineeringProjects #Sustainability

Join the next Webinar with tekom Belgium, June 10, 3 pm - 4:30 pm. "From risk assessment to safety and warning notices"❗ Every manufacturer of a product needs a risk assessment. Otherwise, a safe product is inconceivable. Risk assessment and risk reduction require a systematic and iterative approach in a suitable team.  In this webinar the following topics will be covered: •   Obligation and methodology of risk assessment •   Types of safety-related information •   Interplay between risk assessment and technical writing #tekom_Belgium #tekom_europe #tc

I'm so proud to have participated in writing the 13th chapter of the book "Safety Causation Analysis in Sociotechnical Systems: Advanced Models and Techniques" published by Springer, along with Dr. Omran Ahmadi and Dr. Esmaeil Zarei, Ph.D., CSP. Chapter title: System Safety Causal Analysis Models Considering Risk Influence Factors (RIFs) Abstract: In accident causation, the interaction between human involvement and organizational factors plays a crucial role, often leading to deviations at the organizational level before affecting humans and equipment. Taking a proactive approach to identify and address these organizational-level deviations holds promise in preventing subsequent human and equipment failures. However, traditional risk assessment methods like PHA, HAZOP, FMEA, LOPA, and QRA, while foundational, lack the sufficient capacity to assess safety barrier performance and quantify Risk Influence Factors (RIFs). This gap results in overlooking the impact of organizational factors on the overall risk profile. This chapter aims to fill this gap by exploring models of safety incident origins explicitly designed to integrate RIFs, addressing critical gaps in root cause analysis. These methodologies, mindful of RIFs, provide a comprehensive view covering short- and long-term factors influencing technological systems and human behavior. The modeling of RIFs becomes crucial, offering insights essential for identifying risk prevention and mitigation strategies, along with relevant indicators. The utilization of these indicators for monitoring RIF states is instrumental in uncovering fluctuations directly linked to shifts in the risk scenario. The chapter examined various models and methodologies, including Barrier and Operational Risk Analysis (BORA), Causal Modeling of Air Transportation System (CATS), Hybrid Causal Logic Model (HCL), Accidental Risk Assessment Methodology for Industries (ARAMIS), Integrated Risk (I-Risk) method, Accident Causation using Hierarchical Influence Network (MACHINE), Operational Condition Safety (OTS), and Risk Modeling—Integration of Organizational, Human, and Technical factors (Risk-OMT). It also highlights hybrid methodologies, incorporating diverse tools like Bayesian networks into accident causation modeling. This exploration serves as a guide for an adaptive approach in complex sociotechnical systems. Emphasizing the pivotal role of organizational and management factors in shaping accident dynamics and risk assessments, this work offers a scholarly yet accessible insight into risk assessment methodologies considering RIFs.

Our latest webinar recording, “Trends and Applications Toward Advancing Robust Pipeline QRA Approaches Across the Industry” is now available to watch on demand. Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) approaches can support a wide array of activities supporting safety, asset investment, and integrity management goals within a risk-informed decision-making process. Some stakeholders may perceive that QRA enables "doing less" within Integrity Management programs, while in fact, QRA can drive the "right" preventive and mitigative work for confident decision-making. In this recorded presentation, Dan Williams, Principal Consultant and Tyler Klashinsky, Manager, Engineering Assessments at Dynamic Risk delve into the trends and applications toward advancing robust pipeline QRA approaches. Our experts also showcase a QRA application case example demonstrating how the enhanced use of QRA for informing Integrity Management programs can sometimes “do more” than a standard deterministic analysis would otherwise indicate.

Many people use "Resilience" and "Risk Management" synonymously, but this is incorrect... Resilience Engineering deals with: • Systems • Variability • Adaptability • Tolerance for Failure Risk Management, on the other hand, is just one part of it and focuses on: • Identifying most risks • Prescriptive solutions • Preventative measures However, there is more to it than that. We can't prevent everything. There will always be unknowns. Today, I'll cover the basics of Resilience Engineering in the Resilience Engineers Community. Would be great to see you there! I am opening up 3 memberships this week. (Link in the comments). ------------ 1. ♻️ Repost to help 1 person learn 2. 🔔Follow me Marco Felsberger

https://lnkd.in/dBjpZXiN I am excited to share that I have successfully completed the course "Introduction to Process Safety and Risk Analysis." This course has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the essential principles and practices involved in ensuring safety and managing risks within industrial processes. During this course i learned the following topics; Risk management, Checklist analysis, HAZOP, probability theory, Event tree, Fault tree, bowtie diagram, LOPA, Inherently safer design and went through lot of case studies.

At HDI we are looking to find ways to assist our customer as they transition to more sustainable ways of working and ways of building. Our Risk Engineering and Construction team will be talking about the risks associated with the new materials presented and what clients need to consider. Richard Beeby and Mark Allan will be providing their insights. #Partnerintransformation

ENHANCE, IMPROVE and SUCCEED - Check out this video! 🚀 Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA) is gaining global recognition as a key method for managing engineering project risks. Traditional QSRA uses the Critical Path Method (CPM) with activity ranging, but this approach has limitations. 🔍 Leading industry bodies like the Risk Engineering Society (RES) Australia and AACE International now recommend the ‘Risk Driver’ Method over traditional ranging for its enhanced accuracy. This video presentation by ALLINNO Pty Ltd compares the Risk Driver method with traditional techniques, offering insights for both new and experienced QSRA practitioners. 👥 Learn to adopt and apply the Risk Driver method effectively through practical examples that demonstrate its benefits for informed decision-making. Embrace the change and enhance your project risk management strategies. Discover how the Risk Driver method can lead to more successful project outcomes! https://bit.ly/SafranRisk

Offsite Consequence Analysis (OCA) is a systematic evaluation of potential hazards associated with industrial processes, focusing on the identification and assessment of potential offsite consequences resulting from accidental releases of hazardous substances. This analysis involves the use of modeling techniques to predict the dispersion and impact of hazardous materials beyond the facility boundaries. The goal of OCA is to quantify and understand the potential risks to nearby populations, property, and the environment, aiding in the development of effective risk management strategies and emergency response plans. Here are three key benefits of conducting OCA: 1. Risk Mitigation and Prevention - Integration of Offsite Consequence Analysis and Modeling into core process safety techniques aids in identifying and addressing potential hazards, allowing facilities to implement targeted measures for risk reduction and incident prevention. 2. Regulatory Compliance and Stakeholder Assurance - The incorporation of OCA and Modeling aligns operations with regulatory mandates, demonstrating a commitment to safety standards and fostering trust among regulators, local communities, and stakeholders. 3. Emergency Response Preparedness/Planning - Utilizing OCA and Modeling enhances emergency response planning by simulating potential scenarios, enabling the development of informed strategies that efficiently mitigate the impacts of hazardous material releases.
