Shepherd – Quantitative Risk Assessment tool
Designed for QRA of onshore facilities and operations
Shepherd allows fast and reliable predictions of risks related to incidents such as the release of flammable or toxic fluid, fires and explosions.
Developed by engineers who understand the need for accurate results and actionable outputs
Shepherd provides an at-a-glance overview of the risk picture for any facility, activity or project, helping users quickly assess their situation.
It allows users to incorporate site-specific operational practices rather than relying on generic models, ensuring that assessments reflect real-world conditions.
Shepherd enables fast sensitivity analysis for layout options, helping to optimise designs while assessing risks. Additionally, users can document and track design choices and risk-based decisions throughout a facility’s life cycle, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Finally, operating companies maintain control over risk analyses performed by consultants or contractors by owning the risk management tool used, keeping key risk data in-house.
