Risk assessment is the cornerstone of proactive engineering. Before the first cable is laid or the first panel is mounted, our engineers perform a comprehensive hazard identification and risk analysis (HIRA).

Our process involves:

• Identifying hazards — electrical shock risks, arc flash potential, earthing failures, fire hazards, and load imbalances.
• Analyzing probability and severity using international frameworks such as IEC 31010: Risk Management — Risk Assessment Techniques.
• Quantifying risk exposure through fault current analysis, load flow simulations, and earthing resistance testing.
• Establishing controls — from isolation procedures and lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) systems to surge protection and redundant safety devices.

This approach allows us to mitigate risks before they materialize, ensuring that both workers and end users are protected. For projects like Two Rivers Mall substation testing and KenGen’s UPS installation, this systematic approach has enabled us to deliver complex systems without downtime or safety incidents.
