Additionally, BakerRisk will have a joint exhibit booth with FORTRESS Protective Buildings, (Booth #200), which will allow attendees to discuss timely process safety challenges and topics with our team while also learning how protective buildings can impact the success of organizations’ process safety programs. The FORTRESS team will be available to discuss why and how BakerRisk designed and tested the FORTRESS building solution for protection from major hazards, which many attendees are challenged with, and to help attendees consider which protective building options may be best for their facilities.
