Accidents or even disasters during production, storage and especially during transport of hazardous substances have contributed to enhancing public awareness of the risks associated with a highly technical market. Since enforcement of the Ordinance on Disaster Prevention, many companies have been committed to deal with the risks emanating from their activities.

The restructuring process of the Swiss market has led to extensive changes in the nature of many environmental risks. Other risks have taken the place of the "classical chemical risks". Large groups of affiliated companies have closed down their production centres in Switzerland and enlarged their portfolios abroad. Certain risks have thus disappeared, however, new ones have taken their place or existing ones have increased, such as for example transport risks, sabotage, and occupational safety and health.

We define the risks posed by a company in the environmental and occupational safety and health fields, we collect basic data, identify deficiencies and assess the need for action. Therefore, we do not only supply the management of companies with a survey of their risk liability, but also with a tool for investment planning.

We also share our industrial consulting experience with public authorities in their implementation tasks in the field of prevention of hazardous events: we assist various cantons with the implementation of the Ordinance on Disaster Prevention, insofar as we analyse and assess for instance the risks of challenging production processes.
