Mapping and identifying risk profiles is the foundation of effective prevention for operational teams —especially when addressing hidden field risks in remote environments. By uncovering critical blind spots often overlooked in standard training, organisations can strengthen control measures where it matters most.

We have over three decades of experience studying and understanding natural risk, with expertise in venomous bites and stings, crocodiles and megafauna. Our assets include one of the most detailed and comprehensive databases on animal species that pose a risk to human health and life. This includes detailed knowledge of their distributions, habitat and behaviour.

Our databases are global in extent, and therefore we can formulate risk mitigation from Cameroon to Costa Rica. We have 237 countries and regions listed. This ensures that we feed scientifically accurate and up-todate information into our risk management frameworks.

Our solutions are tailored to each organisation and environment, building real-world capability while delivering compliance-ready documentation—without disrupting operations. We partner with clients to co-design practical, data-informed outcomes using proprietary tools, resources, and field intelligence.
