Expert risk management for the chemicals industry
The chemicals industry presents complex major hazard risks, particularly from toxic substances that can pose serious threats to public at a substantial distance. Effective risk assessment is essential to identify potential scenarios such as toxic releases and implement sufficient layers of protection. A robust major hazard risk assessment not only supports regulatory compliance under frameworks like COMAH but also enables safer design, operation, and management of chemical processes. At Equarisk, we combine industry knowledge to help chemical operators assess, manage, and reduce these risks, ensuring safer outcomes and stronger operational resilience.
