Rail Infrastructure

Risktec supports clients in demonstrating compliance with the Common Safety Method for Risk Evaluation and Assessment (CSM-REA) in accordance with Reglation 402/2013 across complex rail and infrastructure projects. This includes development of safety plans, hazard management processes, safety justification documentation, and coordination with assessment and acceptance bodies.

Risktec delivers independent assessment services in accordance with relevant railway and functional safety standards, including EN 50716. This includes independent review of system design, software assurance evidence, lifecycle processes, and safety deliverables to support regulatory acceptance and confidence in safety-critical systems.

Risktec facilitates structured Hazard Identification (HAZID) workshops and hazard management activities across a wide range of industries. Using recognised methods such as HAZID and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) studies, Risktec supports clients in systematically identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing appropriate safeguards and actions.

Risktec supports qualitative risk assessments using techniques such as Bowtie analysis (mapping causes to consequences) and ALARP demonstrations to identify credible accident scenarios, evaluate controls and demonstrate that risks have been reduced to a level that is As Low As Reasonably Practicable.

Risktec develops and applies quantitative risk analysis (QRA) models using methods including fault tree analysis, event tree analysis, cost benefit analysis and other types of modelling. These studies support evidence-based decision making through assessment of frequencies, consequences, and overall risk exposure.

Risktec assists clients in identifying practical risk reduction measures and demonstrating compliance with ALARP principles. This includes evaluation of mitigation options, cost-benefit considerations, and development of clear safety justifications to support project approvals and operational acceptance.

Risktec provides functional safety support across the full lifecycle of safety-related systems in accordance with standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511 and IEC 62061. Services include SIL determination, SIL verification, Functional Safety Management Plans, and independent functional safety assessments.

Risktec supports RAM studies to improve system performance, operational resilience, and asset reliability in alignment with EN 50126. Services include reliability modelling, availability assessments, Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), maintainability analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation using industry-standard tools and methods.

Risktec develops structured safety cases and safety justification reports to demonstrate that systems can be operated safely and in compliance with applicable regulatory and client requirements. These documents provide clear, evidence-based arguments supported by technical analysis and assurance activities.

Risktec supports cybersecurity risk management for industrial and operational technology environments, including alignment with standards such as IEC 62443. Services include cyber risk assessments, security assurance, threat identification, and integration of cybersecurity considerations into safety-critical systems.

Risktec supports development and implementation of Health, Safety, Security and Environmental (HSSE) management systems tailored to client operations and regulatory requirements. This includes governance frameworks, procedures, audits, risk management processes, and continual improvement activities.
