We help you respond the right way — whether someone’s been injured, there’s been a close call, or you just want to get on top of the risks before they turn into bigger issues. From investigations and corrective actions to risk assessments and reporting tools, we’ll help you manage the situation, stay compliant, and protect your people and your business.

Understanding Different Types of Risk Assessments
Not all hazards are created equal—and neither are risk assessments. The type of assessment you choose directly impacts how effectively you identify, manage, and communicate risk across your operations.
This table breaks down recognised and widely used risk assessment methods—from high-level strategic tools like Broad Brush Assessments to highly detailed analyses like HAZOP and Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA). It also includes construction-specific tools such as Construction Risk Analysis (CRA) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA), which are essential for managing dynamic site conditions.
Each method has a specific intent:
- Some are designed to support early project planning
- Others help teams manage day-to-day tasks safely
- And a few are reserved for complex engineering or regulatory-critical environments
By understanding how these methods operate—and when to use them—you can match the right tool to the right task, ensuring risk is not only assessed, but genuinely managed.
Whether you're building safety from the ground up or refining a mature system, using the right risk assessment process is a cornerstone of operational resilience and regulatory compliance.
