Taking Risk Consulting action enables the probability of a damage and loss event to be reduced and the extent of damage and loss in a possible emergency to be restricted. This also applies in a similar way to major construction projects and heavy goods transportation. HDI pools these cross-risk-class activities under the name of HDI Risk Consulting.
