Risktec Solutions
Risktec Solutions and LJMU took part in a Knowledge Transfer Partnership that was ranked outstanding by the National KTP Awards
Partner organisation
Risktec Solutions is a safety and risk management consulting company. The company assists clients in major hazard industries and commercial sectors to manage safety and business risk.
Project
Risktec Solutions received an increasing number of client requests asking for the provision of training in safety and risk management topics.
Through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project, the company aimed to move into this market by developing and delivering specialist training courses in safety and risk assessment. The courses would target the oil, gas, railway, nuclear and defence industries.
Initially, the concept was to develop a menu of training modules that clients could select from, but, as the project progressed, Risktec Solutions realised that the market would be better served by offering structured programmes leading to postgraduate qualifications.
This led to the development of the Risk and Safety Management programme, which offers qualifications to MSc. The programme is delivered by Risktec Solutions’ consultants, who are all practising risk professionals. The programme is accredited by Liverpool John Moores University and is approved by IChemE as meeting the knowledge and understanding requirements for IChemE’s Professional Process Safety Engineer qualification.
