DEKRA joins IIRSM as a Supporter Partner to elevate global safety standards

DEKRA has joined IIRSM as a Supporter Partner to elevate global safety standards.

For more than 30 years, the consultancy has specialised in process safety and organisational safety – delivering expert services in the identification, analysis, prevention and management of fires, explosions and accidental chemical releases, while also driving behavioural change and safety culture transformation across high-risk industries.

DEKRA’s approach integrates science, psychology and neuroscience with deep expertise in process safety management, engineering and testing. By partnering closely with clients, DEKRA combines technical precision with a strong commitment to protecting people, preserving assets and driving sustainable harm reduction.

Daryl Wake, Business Development Director, said: “As IIRSM celebrates 50 years and DEKRA marks its 100th anniversary, this partnership brings together two organisations with a shared mission – to reduce risk and make workplaces safer across the globe.

“Having served as IIRSM UAE Branch Secretary, I’ve seen how IIRSM supports meaningful professional growth. Many members significantly advanced their capabilities when introduced to DEKRA’s human-centred, science-based safety approaches. Together, they create a powerful platform to elevate global safety standards.”

Phillip Pearson, IIRSM Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to have DEKRA join IIRSM as a Supporter Partner, reflecting our shared belief in driving positive change and helping organisations to feel safe, supported and empowered to identify and manage risks, protecting their environments and lives.”
