By using Safeti, GHD believes it can offer large resource and industrial enterprises a level of support in technical due diligence, risk management and safety audits that has previously been unavailable in the market.

GHD’s use of Safeti has enabled it to capture a significant portion of the risk assessment market in Australia and beyond. GHD is an international professional services company, aiming to deliver innovative solutions by combining technical expertise and experience with an understanding of clients’ objectives and aspirations. Established in Australia in 1928, the company now employs over 4,000 people in a network of offices throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.

The GHD Group has boosted its position in the management consulting arena with the recent acquisition of Qest Consulting. The merger has led to around fifty risk management consultants joining GHD’s offices in Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane. Over many years, Qest has established a dominant position in the mining and industrial sectors across Australia, providing specialist risk assessment and safety risk management skills.

Qest brings a range of skills and risk assessment software tools, which complement existing capabilities within GHD. The technical and engineering know-how, coupled with the risk management expertise, will offer the market a unique service at a time when the national and international focus on risk is escalating.

Qest has been using Safeti since 2003.
