RRC came highly recommended and exceeded our expectations. They promptly identified our process dust explosion and fire risks, binning them into high, moderate and low for us to better understand the significance and how to prioritize. RRC explained how the NFPA codes and standards apply to our manufacturing plant. They gave us practical solutions to enhance our engineering controls for mitigating the risks, and presented best practices for improving our S&H programs necessary for OSHA compliance. We would not hesitate to use RRC for future fire and safety consulting services.
Jiraporn Winfield, Vice President of R&D and Q - BI-QEM

RRC recently developed a Dust Hazard Analysis for our manufacturing plant in Auburn ME. The analysis was comprehensive, identifying and prioritizing the areas of risk along with effective options for mitigating the consequence resulting from fire and explosions. Given our past experience with RRC in providing Property Loss Control support, we knew they had the experience we could trust. RRC’s experience with Process Safety Management allowed them to effectively utilize a HAZOP worksheet for identifying the gaps in the existing process and programs. This methodology resulted in a very concise Gap Analysis that prioritized the plant risks from high, moderate and low. RRC is very professional and knowledgeable of the codes and standards and I would highly recommend them.
