When an incident  occurs, you need the ability to easily identify and record the immediate  causes as well as the root causes of the incident. Using “state of the art” techniques and technologies, EXP-Hazox and ABS Consulting can help you determine the causes, prevent a recurrence, comply with OHSA reporting and promptly restore the confidence of workers, management, regulators and the public.
