Mr. Black is a member of BakerRisk’s Process Safety Group. He serves as BakerRisk’s managing consultant for the insurance risk and fire protection service areas. He has over 30 years of experience in industrial property loss prevention and risk engineering, primarily in the oil, gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
Mr. Black has developed and currently oversees BakerRisk’s flagship Fire Hazards and Mitigations Analysis (FHMA) service. The FHMA methodology and related computer modeling tools were developed to assist clients in performing focused, comprehensive analyses of their operation’s fire risks, as well as the mitigation resources available to limit fire consequences. In addition to FHMA, he is also BakerRisk’s subject matter expert in fire protection systems’ inspection, testing, and maintenance. Mr. Black currently leads a series of testing and assessment investigations, including Firewater Pump Performance Testing, Underground Network Gradient Testing, and Fireproofing Gap Analyses.
Mr. Gandhi is a member of BakerRisk’s Process Safety Group. He is a Process Safety Engineer with over 19 years of experience in controls and safety systems and over 12 years of experience in qualitative hazard and risk analysis. Mr. Gandhi manages Fire and Gas Systems (FGS) and Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) services at BakerRisk, where he has reviewed boilers and heater Burner Management Systems (BMS) to NFPA85 and NFPA86 standards.
Since 2020, he has led the Low Carbon Energy Risk Management group at BakerRisk which comprises of hydrogen and hydrogen carriers, biofuels, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sub-groups. He has been a continuous member and leader of ISA at the student, local, and national levels since 2001 and the Hydrogen Technology Committee at CGA. He is the primary committee member for NFPA 715 Gas Detection Standard and is a contributing author on ISA TR84.00.07 Fire and Gas Detection and TR84.00.05 Burner Management System.
Mr. Drennen is a member of BakerRisk’s Process Safety Group. His work focuses on Process Safety Management (PSM) Consulting Services, including Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) and Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) facilitation (for both existing processes and capital projects), Sizing calculations and hydraulic studies for pressure relief devices and relief headers, Detailed dispersion modeling of pressure relief system discharges to the atmosphere using Safesite3G©, Development of guidelines and work processes for relief system design and analysis, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) determination, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and PSM Compliance Audits, serving the Oil & Gas, Chemical, Agricultural, and Energy industries.
For his PHA and LOPA facilitation work, he has utilized various methodologies including Hazards and Operability (HAZOP), What-If, Structured What-If (SWIF), Hazard Identification (HAZID), and Checklist techniques to evaluate hazardous process operations, new equipment designs, and process modifications, using PHA Pro, PHAWorks, Leader, and PHA-Tool© documentation software.
Major updates to our patented Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) software are arriving soon. BakerRisk's HACTool© will now incorporate new updates aligned with the latest revisions of NFPA 497, NFPA 499, IEC 60079-10-1, and IEC 60079-10-2 standards.
Join BakerRisk’s Theresa Lewis, Michael Metcalfe-Smith, and Alexandre Cardoso, P. Eng., during which our experts will discuss why process safety management (PSM) is a critical component of safe growth in renewable fuel industries—even when not required—and how to effectively implement key PSM elements to support resilient, sustainable operations.
The webinar will highlight the release of our new best practice, “F&G Detector Mapping,” during which our experts will discuss the importance of incorporating fire & gas detection systems capable of detecting gas leaks, fires, and related hazards to reduce and mitigate risks at operating facilities.
Join BakerRisk consultants Roger Stokes and Rob Magraw as they deliver an introduction to incident investigations.
In this presentation, BakerRisk’s Travis Holland, P.E., M.S., and Brian Royo will deliver insights into Multi-Hazard Resistant Building (MRB) Design, key concepts of protective building design, and the dynamic response of different building materials to hazards common in processing facilities.
We are excited to announce that GASCO’s Dr. Zeinab Ibrahim, Eng. Tamer Hamdy, and Eng. Mostafa Nabil will be presenting an Information Session to discuss GASCO and BakerRisk’s joint training courses that will be offered at GASCO’s headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, starting in October of 2025.
