Services
Wildfire Risk Mitigation
The threats from wildland fire continue to rise sharply, and traditional mitigation providers often focus on rural homes. We provide custom wildfire risk management, with special experience protecting sophisticated facilities and their staff.Safety and Emergency Management
Complex threats require technically savvy risk managers, and we bring cross-domain experience of a specialist nature to the needs of high-end organizations managing their hazards.Instructional Design and Delivery
Training is too often done poorly, leading to bored students and bad outcomes. We build, deliver, and consult on efficient and valuable education tuned to your organization's specific culture. While we focus on the safety space, we've found our value can be applied quite broadly.Inspection
A key pillar of any professional safety program, we provide tailored inspections to illuminate gaps, verify mitigations, and document compliance. These can range from pre-planned and expected assessments to fully covert surveys.Investigation
The complement of proactive inspections, we dig in to accidents and incidents to identify both root causes and complex factors. In addition to the option of facilitating After Action Reviews, we deliver a report discussing what, if anything, went wrong and how to do better next time.Incident Management
A catch-all label, we help staff and respond to incidents of many different types. Everything from the safety of extreme athletics to cybersecurity concerns to geologic hazards or pandemics—we've done a lot and can help you do more.
