Energy-Based Risk Assessment

Energy-Based Risk Assessment

The risk of serious injuries and fatalities is more than just a number—it’s shaped by the interplay of energy, controls, and time, and is influenced by a complex array of human, organizational, and managerial factors. By leveraging tools like high-energy control assessments, climate diagnostics, and human factors analysis, we can peel back the layers of SIF risk. This deeper understanding will help us to create a more comprehensive and objective method of assessing SIF risk, enabling smarter, data-driven decisions that reduce risk during design and planning stages.
