How we work

Why work with Risktec?

At Risktec we pride ourselves on being easy to work with and on being responsive and flexible to our clients’ needs, delivering complete and pragmatic solutions.

We strongly believe the following key factors differentiate us:

Our values and culture

The key values underpinning our culture are Teamwork, Integrity, Empowerment and Solutions. We work collaboratively, both within Risktec and when working with clients. We act with honesty, integrity and consistently high ethical standards. We empower everyone to deliver all aspects of a project to the best of their ability in a supportive, open and trusting environment.

Our approach

We are committed to providing clients with solutions, built on a sound understanding of their business and the issues they face. Throughout a project we work with our clients to ensure ownership of the solution. We believe this philosophy leads to mutually trusting relationships. We highlight the positives, but also do not shy away from identifying weaknesses. In this way we help clients to objectively understand their risks and the quality of their systems for managing them.

Our independence

Our independence is achieved through our selected range of services, our company values and our legal structure. Our services are independent from design, construction and operations, and as such we offer truly impartial advice. Integrity is a core company value, which means we are open about difficult issues. Finally, TÜV Rheinland has no shareholders with conflicting corporate goals to satisfy, enabling us to take a long-term view in everything we do.

Client satisfaction

Ultimately it is our clients who decide how well we are performing, and we place great emphasis on their feedback. Consequently twice a year we survey the clients of all our active projects and we are delighted to receive consistently high levels of customer satisfaction. This feedback drives continuous improvement across the business.

Innovation

We help our clients embrace innovation and digitalisation to reduce their existing risks, improve what they’re currently doing, or do something new. We utilise advancing technology in a safe, sustainable and ethical way and pride ourselves on delivering the right solution to our clients. We are creative and innovative where a fresh approach is warranted, but also recommend tried-and-tested methods where they are best. We practise what we preach and embrace innovation wherever this helps us work quicker and smarter, passing on efficiency savings to our clients to deliver even better solutions.

Knowledge sharing

We are passionate about sharing our knowledge and experience. Helping and supporting our clients builds lasting, trusting relationships which strengthen our business. So, if we can help our clients in the long-term by transferring knowledge, that’s what we do. Moreover, we recognise that by sharing our knowledge and experience, we can play our part in making the industries we support safer for the benefit of society as a whole. We work hard to share our knowledge through a wide range of freely accessible media, and attendance and participation in industry events and forums.

Our experience

Our services recognise that controlling risk requires understanding engineered and technological systems, management systems and organisational, cultural and behavioural factors.  We work across the entire lifecycle of facilities and equipment.

Our business systems

Risktec operates a quality assurance system that has been certified to ISO 9001:2015. Our HSSE management system is capable of certification to ISO standards. Our cyber security arrangements have been assessed to meet UK government and industry standards, including certification to Cyber Essentials Plus. Project managers take overall responsibility for the internal quality assurance aspects of their projects, and apply established project management methods to ensure delivery of our projects on time and to budget.

Our locations

Risktec has its principal office in Warrington in the UK, with other offices in key locations in Europe, Middle East, South East Asia and North America.  Our activities are supported by a comprehensive network of TÜV Rheinland offices and local representatives in other regions around the world.
