Risk Management Programs

Successful risk management begins with a complete understanding of risk exposure. While risk assessment tools may provide an adequate profile of risk, effective risk management is only achieved through understanding risk. Our risk management services concentrate on assisting clients with understanding their unique risk exposures and providing the tools and knowledge needed to mitigate known risk to an acceptable level.

Once identified, managing risk may be as simple as defining a risk-ranking matrix for assessing tolerable risk. This typically involves using a semi-quantitative technique to describe consequence impact and likelihood or probability of occurrence. ASC has the tools to help companies identify risk and the experience to help successfully manage risk.  Industry accepted modeling programs and  cutting edge techniques, such as the unit operations PHA protocol, help ASC finish jobs quickly without sacrificing accuracy or quality.

For more complex processes a formal quantitative methodology may be needed. The QRA begins with the identification of unwanted events. The consequences of each event are then calculated for various combinations of conditions that could affect the outcome. These outcomes are then combined with the event probabilities to provide a numerical assessment of risk.
