RISQ partners with high-hazard operators to identify what can go wrong, prove the barriers that prevent it, and keep complex operations running safely — through structured risk studies, barrier management and disciplined follow-through.
Four connected services — so risk work doesn't end as a report on a shelf, but as barriers that hold and actions that close.
Structured studies scoped, executed and quality-assured end to end — with findings translated into prioritised, owned actions your teams can actually close.
Major-accident hazards mapped as living bowties — threats, consequences and the preventive and mitigative barriers between them, with criticality, ownership and degradation made visible to leadership.
Hands-on risk support where it's hardest — simultaneous operations, heavy lifts, well work, shutdowns and brownfield activity — so high-consequence work is planned, challenged and controlled before it starts.
Practical training in risk assessment methods, barrier thinking and risk ownership — built for operations teams and decision-makers, designed to leave capability behind, not dependence.
Every technique has a job. We help you choose the right one — and run it to a standard that stands up to audit and regulator scrutiny.
Early, broad identification of hazards across a facility, project or change — before they're designed in.
Systematic, guideword-driven review of process deviations and their safeguards, node by node.
Assessment and classification of instrumented safety functions so protection matches the risk it carries.
Operational scenarios assessed against your risk matrix with controls, residual risk and actions that close.
Threats, top event, consequences — and the barriers in between — in one picture leadership can act on.
Focused assessment of high-consequence activities so critical controls are explicit, owned and verified.
The hardest risk isn't in a single unit — it's where operations overlap: a heavy lift over live process, well work beside production, a turnaround compressing months of activity into weeks. We bring structure to exactly these moments.
Interaction risks identified, deconflicted and governed before work fronts collide.
Lift plans risk-assessed and categorised, with critical lifts challenged before the hook moves.
Compressed schedules kept honest — risk reviewed at the pace the plan changes.
Rig and well-work risk managed alongside live operations, not in isolation from them.
Practical, practitioner-led training for operations teams, engineers and leaders — built around real scenarios from high-hazard industry, not slideware. Every course is tailored to your operation and designed to change how people see and own risk on the job.
Hazards, scenarios, matrices and controls — how to assess risk credibly and consistently.
Major hazards, layers of protection and what keeps a facility safe — for everyone who works in one.
Reading, building and challenging bowties — and what it means to truly own a barrier.
For supervisors and managers — making risk-based decisions and leading the conversations that matter.
Investigation essentials and turning events — and near-misses — into lasting operational learning.
SIMOPS, lifts and turnarounds — planning and controlling work where activities overlap.
Understand the operation, the hazards that matter and the decision the work must support.
Run the right method rigorously — with the right people in the room and the data on the table.
Convert findings into prioritised, owned actions — and barriers with named custodians.
Keep it alive: track actions to closure, monitor barrier health, review when the operation changes.
Everything above runs better in one system. IMPACT is our digital platform for managing risk assessments, bowties and barriers, critical activities, actions and incidents — one live picture instead of scattered spreadsheets, available to our clients as part of how we work.
RISQ was founded from inside live oil & gas operations — by people who've owned the assessments, the barriers and the consequences. Our advice is practical, our studies drive action, and our standards hold up in front of auditors and regulators.
Start a conversationMethods shaped on real assets, real deadlines and real audits.
Every study ends in prioritised, owned actions — and we stay until they close.
Clear line of sight from major hazards to the controls that hold them — and their health.
We measure success by what your team can see, decide and do without us.
