We assess the prevailing safety culture within an organization by analyzing workforce attitudes, behaviors, and values related to safety. Our Safety Cultural Evaluation identifies gaps between desired and actual practices, revealing areas that need intervention. Through interviews, surveys, and on-site observations, we gauge engagement levels and leadership influence. We then develop strategies to cultivate a positive, proactive safety mindset across all levels. Enhancing safety culture improves overall performance and long-term safety outcomes.

AST Spark’s Property Risk Evaluation helps organizations assess potential threats to their physical assets such as buildings, equipment, and infrastructure. We analyze exposures to fire, flood, theft, structural damage, and other hazards. The study includes risk grading, valuation, and assessment of protection systems like fire alarms, suppression equipment, and security protocols. Based on this, we recommend cost-effective measures to reduce risk and improve asset resilience. This service supports business continuity and protects valuable resources.

Our Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) program aims to improve workplace safety by promoting and reinforcing safe behaviors among employees. We observe, record, and analyze employee actions in real time to identify unsafe practices and reinforce positive habits. BBS fosters employee accountability and encourages a safety-first mindset. AST Spark helps implement systems that integrate BBS into daily operations, training, and performance evaluations. This approach significantly reduces accident rates and enhances overall safety culture.

We conduct Fire Loss Studies to assess the root causes and impacts of previous fire incidents in industrial and commercial settings. Our study includes analysis of fire source, spread dynamics, and effectiveness of safety measures during the event. This post-incident review helps organizations learn from the past and implement improvements in design, detection, suppression, and response systems. The insights gained are used to mitigate future risks and protect assets and personnel.

Our Pre-Occupancy Audit service ensures that new or renovated facilities meet all required health, safety, and environmental standards before occupancy. We inspect fire safety systems, structural readiness, emergency exits, and air quality among other parameters. This helps prevent last-minute issues and supports smooth facility commissioning. The audit also ensures compliance with legal codes and industry best practices, reducing risks to future occupants and minimizing potential liabilities.

AST Spark provides Pre-Commissioning Audits to assess the readiness and safety of systems before they go live. This involves checking process flow, equipment integrity, utility systems, emergency mechanisms, and safety devices. We identify design flaws, operational risks, and deviations from specifications. Our team ensures that your facility can begin operations safely and without delays. These audits support a safe, smooth transition from construction to operation while avoiding costly rework or shutdowns.

We conduct comprehensive evaluations of your safety systems to identify performance gaps and compare them against industry benchmarks and best practices. This benchmarking process helps understand how your safety programs stack up against peers and standards like ISO 45001 or OSHA guidelines. AST Spark provides a roadmap for improvements by prioritizing gaps and offering corrective strategies. The result is a more efficient, compliant, and resilient safety management system.

Our Safety Shutdown Studies assess planned or emergency shutdown procedures to ensure they are safe, systematic, and risk-free. We review shutdown triggers, sequencing, personnel roles, and system behavior during shutdowns. This includes identifying failure points and implementing redundancies for critical systems. We help organizations design protocols that reduce risks to equipment, personnel, and the environment during shutdown scenarios. This service enhances operational safety and ensures compliance during transitional states.

We conduct Warehouse Safety Studies to evaluate risks associated with material storage, handling, fire protection, racking systems, and vehicle movement. The study includes physical inspections and reviews of safety training, layout efficiency, and emergency response plans. AST Spark provides practical recommendations to improve warehouse safety while ensuring regulatory compliance. Optimizing warehouse safety not only protects personnel and goods but also increases operational efficiency and reduces downtime.
