risk management

At LR, we understand that risk straddles every element of your operation and that managing and reducing risk is crucial to maintaining safe and reliable operations.

We support owners, operators and supply chains of complex, high-risk and capital intensive assets throughout the entire life-cycle. By ensuring that the right solutions are in place to control organisational risk profiles and prepare for emergencies, we help safeguard operations, businesses and society at large.

Our specialist expertise and practical guidance help you operate safely and profitably. Our solutions provide you with the assurance that assets and components are running to their optimal performance.

Our risk management assessments and studies help you to achieve safe operation with major hazard and risk control throughout design, construction, operation and decommissioning.   We do this by identifying geological, safety and environmental conditions, evaluating possible accidental events and major risks, including their causes and consequences, and providing a basis for emergency preparedness and land use planning.

We help you to develop optimum risk prevention and mitigation strategies and ensure optimum return from investments by combining assessments with cost-benefit analysis.
