BIRA was founded in 2000 to provide a service to the industry with regard to risk assessment. BIRA’s specialists have more than 20 years experience in the field of risk assessment and risk assessment training in the nuclear, process, retail and mining industries.
BIRA has a holistic and integrated approach to risk management and for that purpose has developed several risk assessment courses and risk management software. From experience in the industry, BIRA knows that cost effective management of risks is in many cases a big burden on companies due to lack of the necessary tools. The training that BIRA provides is thus focused on the application of the best risk assessment technique to the problem at hand and to keep the risk assessment current through dedicated software.
