Europe
Protecting industrial personnel, the public, and the environment starts with strong process safety. BakerRisk’s European team and infrastructure can provide your industrial facilities with specialist services, consulting, training, and much more.
Our work
Our team supports professional development, provides resources for training, and promotes best practices among industries throughout Europe.
Our team has contributed to IChemE since 1974 and helps share accident and process safety information between organizations in their yearly publication.
We encourage collaboration and participate in conferences and webinars, as well as present process safety materials at annual meetings for organizations like the Chemical Hazard Assessment Working Group.
Services
Our PHA services include Hazard and Operability (HAZOP), Layer Protection (LOPA), and Hazard Identification (HAZIP) services. We perform this work in accordance with local guidelines and safety processes, such as UEC 61882:2016 and the Energy Institute Process Safety Framework.
Additionally, the use of a semi-quantitative risk matrix allows our team to identify scenarios where risk falls above or below the tolerable risk criteria, as well as the area in between, where we can provide support in other service areas to determine whether the risk is “as low as reasonably practical” (ALARP).
Our European process safety experts can leverage the Safety Integrity Level methodology to determine, confirm, and achieve safety targets and maintain long-term efficacy. SIL selection and determination are carried out with the use of our proprietary PHA-Tool©.
Our IRE specialists can identify risks that may contribute to facility property losses, business interruptions, and similar negative effects. We can additionally provide your team with loss estimates and help you develop processes or procedures to minimize risks in the future by leveraging decades of experience and our proprietary MaxLoss© tool.
Count on our accident investigators to determine the key factors and root causes involved with a hazard event at your facility. Our accident forensic specialists will use an extensive toolkit, powerful software, and industry know-how to provide defensible analyses, inform your management team, and empower your organization to prevent accidents in the future.
Our European team offers assistance with the development and implementation of process safety management systems. We’ll help your organization identify and utilize good practices that have been recognized by the HSE and can demonstrably reduce hazard threats in your facilities. Furthermore, we can create On-Shore COMAH Safety Case Reports with risk assessments as needed.
The BakerRisk Learning Center offers virtual courses and management training for our European partners. Join classes online and take advantage of our industry expertise to elevate your process safety efforts.

As the energy industry looks to renewable fuels such as hydrogen (H2) as main energy sources, there is plenty for industry professionals to learn in order to protect their people, assets, and facilities.
Read “Proper Handling of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) Chemicals,” featured in Chemical Engineering Progress (CEP) for risk mitigation.
Established in 1984, 40 years later BakerRisk has grown to an internationally-renowned consulting firm with over 185 scientists and engineers in six offices over the US, Canada, and the UK (with offices in Egypt and the Middle East coming soon).
