On a Monday in November 2020, blast effects consultant Jasen Falcon was contacted by a longtime BakerRisk client about an urgent facility risk. The client informed Falcon that they had identified a heat exchanger as a possible hazard and needed to contain fragments from a potential vessel failure.
This was a high-risk situation, with a hard deadline of that Friday morning due to a planned shutdown of a public rail line running through the client’s plant. The risk to a third party (the rail line) was significant, making rapid response essential.
The BakerRisk team (Jasen Falcon, Matt Edel, Amandeep Sharma, Laurie Rodriguez, and Don Ketchum) demonstrated a remarkable rapid response, mobilizing quickly to address the client’s urgent need. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of their intensive care unit like response:
