Minimizing industrial risks

Minimizing industrial risks: strategies, assessment and concrete solutions with Technord.

In a rapidly changing industrial world, industrial risks are more present than ever. With increasing automation, interconnected systems, cybersecurity and regulatory requirements, companies need to redouble their vigilance to protect their sites, their employees and their production.

For more than 35 years, Technord has been helping industries to manage their risks through solutions combining technical expertise, process digitization and state-of-the-art industrial cybersecurity.

In this article, we present our global and integrated vision of industrial risk management: identification, assessment, reduction… with a particular focus on industrial cybersecurity, an essential lever for control.

What is an industrial risk ?

An industrial risk is any event likely to affect the safety, performance or compliance of a production site. These risks can be :



Techniques

(failure of a PLC or production system)



Organizational

(human error, mismanagement of procedures)



Environmental

(pollution, fire, explosion)



Cyber

(intrusion into industrial systems, digital sabotage)

As an industrial integrator, Technord operates at the crossroads ofautomation,industrial IT and OT/IT cybersecurity. This unique position gives us a 360° view of vulnerabilities and possible security measures.

Identifying industrial risks: the first step towards control.

Effective industrial risk management begins with accurate identification. Without this, no prevention or reduction strategy can be truly effective.

Safety audits: analyzing your facilities at every level

Technord carries out complete audits of your infrastructures: electrical installations, industrial networks, PLCs, information systems, software solutions, etc.

The aim: to map all potential risks, whether material, human or digital.

Process analysis and risk mapping

We also analyze each stage of your industrial processes to detect potential points of failure. Our engineers use recognizedrisk analysis tools (FMEA, HAZOP, etc.), combined with our hands-on knowledge of industrial environments.

Setting up continuous monitoring

Finally, Technord integrates real-time monitoring solutions (supervision, alerts, etc.) to detect anomalies as soon as they appear. This proactive approach enables us to react immediately before an incident impacts production.

Assess industrial risks to better prioritize them.

Not all risks are created equal. It is essential to classify them according to their criticality, in order to concentrate resources where they are most needed.

Quantitative and qualitative methods & simulations

Technord offers a multi-criteria assessment of industrial risks, based on :

their probability of occurrence
their impact on safety, quality, availability or the environment
their potential cost (production stoppage, losses, fines)

We use criticality matrices, what-if scenarios and decision-support tools to prioritize with your teams.

Why is industrial risk management a strategic lever ?

Industrial risk management is more than just prevention. It is a vector of competitiveness, regulatory compliance and trust with partners and customers. It contributes to :

Ensuring employee safety
Avoid costly production stoppages
Reduce environmental and legal losses
Better meet insurance and ISO certification requirements
Protect your corporate image
