Holistic Safety Assessments

Safety incidents will keep happening until you understand WHY they occur, WHERE they are most likely to occur, and WHAT hazards are present to prevent the identified hazards. DEKRA Holistic Safety Assessments provide these vital insights along with the power to act on them.

We apply our industry-leading scientific perspectives on Organizational Safety & Reliability and decades of Process Safety expertise to pinpoint your current risk assessment exposures, identify solutions to recognized hazards, and reduce exposure. The resulting roadmap guides you in becoming a Learning Organization that systematically and continuously learns how to identify hazards and safety concerns, implements sustainable control measures, and monitors performanceā€”all attributes of a High-Reliability Organization (HRO) excelling in quality, safety, and efficiency.

Leverage Focused, Scalable Holistic Risk Assessments

Many different elements influence safety risk analysis measures and exposures. Itā€™s more than what you produce, the materials involved, or the activities you engage in. The human factor is criticalā€”how people at all levels behave and identify potential hazards, your underlying organizational culture, and the exposures created by day-to-day work. Additionally, evaluating and documenting employers' safety and health programs is crucial for meeting compliance requirements and ensuring a safe working environment. DEKRAā€™s targeted risk assessments help you evaluate the full spectrum of safety assessment risk exposure and prioritize workplace hazards with a strategic approach to sustaining countermeasures.
