BakerRisk actively brings industrial partners together to amplify their research dollars through our Joint Industry experimental and analytical research programs. The JIPs also provide a forum for participating companies to exchange information and experiences, discuss common practices, and share approaches for dealing with regulatory bodies.
With three currently active Joint Industry Programs (JIPs), we work closely with industry leading companies to address hazards that are common to participating companies. BakerRisk proposes pertinent research projects to each JIP on an annual basis, focusing our research efforts on real world solutions that solve problems on an international scale. Our commitment to improving safety helps companies mitigate risks to their assets, employees, and the public. Studies may be analytical or experimental, and typically result in the development of software, guidance, or other information that can be regularly used by participating companies.
