Organisations are increasingly required to understand their risks and demonstrate how well they are managed across the business.  Their goal is to meet stakeholder expectations, protect the organisation’s reputation and, ultimately, to preserve and create value.

Major accidents at hazardous facilities, natural disasters and financial failures of commercial companies continue to ensure that risk management is firmly on the agenda of senior managers.

Risktec Solutions is an established, independent and specialist risk management consulting and training company, and is wholly owned by its employees.  We assist clients in major hazard industries and commercial and public sectors to manage health, safety, security, environmental (HSSE) and business risk.

Risktec has its principal office in Warrington in the UK, with other offices in key locations in the UK, Middle East and North America.  Our activities are supported by a comprehensive network of local representatives in other regions around the world.  Our intention is to be close to our clients.

Risktec was formed with the specific aim of helping organisations protect their employees, the public, the environment and their own physical and financial assets, by cost-effectively reducing and controlling risk.

Our independence is achieved through our selected range of services, our legal structure and our company values.  As a wholly employee-owned company, our services are delivered by our shareholders who have a vested interest in maintaining long-term client relationships.  We have no shareholders with competing corporate goals to satisfy, enabling us to offer truly impartial advice.

We are privileged to have many of the world’s best companies as clients in many sectors, including:
• Nuclear and defence
• Oil, gas and chemical
• Rail, road and marine transport
• Manufacturing
• Public services

Risktec is recognised as a leading provider of professional consulting services in assessing and managing HSSE and business risks.  Our experience ranges from delivering small self-contained work packages to managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects with a large number of stakeholders.

Our approach is based on a unique blend of creative engineering, scientific and management skills, proven methodologies, up-to-date analytical tools and data, and a practical outlook.

Our collective expertise and experience means we provide solutions for our clients, not more problems.  As a result, we have a reputation for successfully delivering and providing value for money.

Risktec is recognised as a leading provider of professional training in HSSE and business risk.  We actively share the knowledge that underpins our consulting services and help clients build in resilience to the risks they face by focusing on the competency of their people.

We offer a structured programme of accredited risk management modules which leads to formal post-graduate qualifications.  Alternatively, single modules can be delivered on a stand-alone basis to gain Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points.  Modules can also be delivered without assessment (attendance only).
 
All modules and programmes may be customised for each client to deliver the specific training they need, when and where they need it.

Risktec consultants are highly qualified and experienced and come from a wide range of backgrounds, including engineering and science disciplines, information technology, operations and management.  They are high calibre and motivated professionals, with a clear focus on meeting clients’ expectations.

Experienced management team members and senior consultants assure technical expertise across our services, and have established reputations with major blue chip clients.

Our consultants are fully empowered to deliver all aspects of projects and our employee ownership model promotes stability in our workforce.

We support our people with a training and development programme, which builds on technical skills and industry focus, as well as relationship and project management skills.

We listen and work collaboratively with the client, taking an open, proactive and objective approach.  Our collective, hard-earned experience of working across a wide range of different industries, environments and cultures, means we consider all factors and are able to deliver solutions for risk improvement that meet each client’s unique needs.

We highlight the positives, but also do not shy away from identifying weaknesses and difficult issues.  In this way we help clients to objectively understand their risks and the quality of their systems for managing them.

We aim to advise for the long-term - throughout the facility life-cycle, business expansion or change initiative.

Our services recognise that controlling risk requires understanding engineered and technological systems, management systems and organisational factors, as well as cultural and behavioural issues.

Our deliverables range from assessments for specific business risk issues, through formal HSSE/safety cases for large industrial complexes, to entire management system documentation, training and implementation support.

The key values underpinning the culture at Risktec are:
• Empowerment
• Teamwork
• Solutions
• Integrity

We empower everyone in Risktec to perform their work to the best of their ability in a supportive, open and trusting environment.

We firmly believe that most value is added through teamwork, both within Risktec and when working with clients.

We believe our business must be sustainable, which can only be achieved by being responsive and flexible to our clients’ needs, delivering solutions, and acting with honesty, integrity and consistently high ethical standards.
