Safety Solutions offers an audit of your companies use of VelocityEHS Risk Management
Challenges:
VelocityEHS Risk Management (RM) is a fully customizable toolset, with many different ways to input information for hazard studies, risk assessments, and control assurance. The tool is very simple to set up and get started, however as an implementation grows in size, things can rapidly become more complex.
Optimize your hazard studies and bowties for control assurance
Safety assessment in RM usually starts with building hazard studies and bowties, with control assurance, that is development of performance standards and verification activities for control measures, coming later. It is critical to have bowties and hazard studies set up properly within RM before starting control assurance to optimize the benefits of using the tool.
Safety Solutions has developed several clients instances of Risk Management from the initial hazard identification and risk assessment through to action management, developing performance standards, and setting up verifications. Our experience with the toolset and expertise in process safety allows us to identify gaps in a users Risk Management implementation and help you improve your system to get the most out of Risk Management.
