Risk Management Consulting

You're already an expert in your operations but could you use some professional advice in developing a clearer more focused picture of your risk exposure? Understanding your 'risk landscape' is not just a regulatory requirement; as an integrated part of your core business it makes good sense to know where your strengths and weaknesses are so that you can allocate resources efficiently and effectively.

At Across Safety we see effective risk management as a way to improve your bottom line and make your business more profitable as well as safe.

We understand the challenges you face and our team of expert consultants can help your business to:

Develop a barrier based risk management strategy that integrates with your Safety Management System and existing processes.
Project plan your risk strategy so that it results in a successful initiative which meets its targets and objectives.
Develop effective BowTie based risk assessments.
Keep up to date on industry best practices and processes.

What sort of consulting experience does Across Safety have?

Across Safety has experience in delivering on a wide range of projects. For example, we are proud to have been the lead consultants for the UK Civil Aviation Authority's 'Significant Seven' BowTie project which developed a suite of BowTies to cover the main risks to commercial air transport operations in the UK (available on their website at www.caa.co.uk.

Here's what the they had to say about the experience:

"We worked with Across Safety on an innovative bowtie project to provide the aviation industry with bowtie templates relevant to the main industry risks. Their aviation experience and bowtie knowledge helped us create a product which is in high demand and we are very grateful for their assistance" UK CAA

Developing a Barrier Based Risk Management Strategy

We specialise in providing consulting services for the development and practical application of BowTie based risk assessments. This barrier based risk management tool is continuously gaining momentum in the aviation industry as a best practice methodology. It's already been recommended by the UK CAA and ICAO have recently added it to their SMS syllabus.

Beyond the basics of how to carry out an effective BowTie based risk assessment, we work with clients to develop a strategy that will integrate this tool into their existing safety management practices in an efficient and informed way.

Project Planning Support

It's great to have a strategy for managing risk, bringing that strategy to life is even better!

Having a great idea alone does not get anyone very far. Having a dedicated and professional project planner to help launch your safety improvement initiative can be an invaluable resource. From developing the big picture, we work through to all of the little details too. It's this approach that keeps projects on track, delivered on time, within budget and ensures success.
