At BakerRisk, our mission is to help our clients manage catastrophic risks through high value services, products, and research. BakerRisk research and development and testing services support this mission by coupling our test facilities with an experienced team of engineers who have spent time in the field analyzing high hazard scenarios and helping to determine the cause and origin of industrial incidents. Our efforts to better understand and categorize structural response, toxic gas detection, blast loads, fire and combustible dust hazards, vessel failures, and fragment hazards come from years of combined experience spent picking up the pieces after things have gone wrong. Protecting people from industrial hazards becomes a personal mission for our professionals. Work with our team and prevent hazardous conditions from turning into devastating reality. Learn More
