RWDI hazard and risk services link design, operations and maintenance activities to meaningful safety and risk reduction planning.  Hazard and risk analyses services and advice on risk management are provided from RWDI's Calgary and Guelph offices, which specialize in quantitative hazard and risk analyses to support worker and public safety-based decisions.  Hazard and risk analysis group, areas of specialty include: Quantitative hazard and risk analysis for the oil and gas industry, including pipelines, wells, acid gas injection schemes, and emergency flaring, phase behavior analysis, transient well and pipeline depressurization modeling, dispersion modeling, and consequence analysis. Quantitative hazard and risk analysis of process, chemical and petrochemical facilities industry following CCPS, CCPA and Responsible Care Guidelines conducted using Shepherd Desktop and RWDI supported software. EUB and NEB regulatory hearing support and expert testimony. Forensic analysis of loss of containment following accidental release incidents. Assist with emergency response and land use planning. Incident management in Real Time (Plume-RT Modeling System). Advisory services such as the development of corporate due diligence and policy and policy review on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) and the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Results obtained from hazard and risk analysis are used to: Assist companies in establishing objective-based corporate due diligence policy. Optimize safety through a comparison of hazards and risk of alternate design alternatives such as the selection and spacing of automatic emergency shut down (ESD) valves, operating pressure and the availability, location and sensitivity of pressure and substance detection devices. Provide a technical basis for the selection of emergency planning zones, public awareness areas, and recommendations supporting land-use activities. Provide emergency response pre-planning and event-planning tools to support field exercises and ensure that emergency response plans will be effective. For example, the use of the Plume-RT Modeling System with forecasting allows emergency responders to predict current and future plume positions.
