Helping businesses make sound, practical decisions about health, safety, and risk, with a focus on what is reasonably practicable in everyday operations

About Perennia Forge​​

​

Perennia Forge is a specialist health and safety risk advisory firm focused on serious harm risk and organisational exposure. Working with business owners, operational leaders, and boards to strengthen how risk is understood, governed, and managed in practice.​ The focus is on risks capable of causing significant harm to people or material consequences for the organisation. We help leaders make balanced, defensible decisions that protect workers while supporting effective and sustainable operations.​

​

​​​​​Mindset

​

​It begins with hazards, particularly those capable of causing serious harm, and examine how safeguards are structured around them.​ Serious harm rarely occurs because a hazard is unknown. It occurs where vulnerability exists within systems, where safeguards are weaker than assumed or untested under pressure.​ â€‹This mindset enables proportionate, practical decisions grounded in operational reality.

​

​​Perspective

​

​Advisory work is informed by ongoing examination of enforcement decisions and serious incident patterns. This allows us to provide insight beyond generic good practice and align advice with how risk is assessed when it is tested.​ Operating at the intersection of operational complexity, governance responsibility, and legal duty, supporting organisations to move beyond compliance thinking toward clearer, more resilient risk management.
