Lead Like Kerin supports organisations to evaluate the effectiveness of their process safety governance arrangements, with a particular focus on the oversight and management of material risk. Our governance reviews examine how roles, responsibilities, decision-making authority, and assurance processes are defined and applied in practice, from the boardroom through to operational leadership. The objective is to assess whether governance frameworks genuinely enable leaders to understand, prioritise, and act on process safety risks, rather than simply meeting formal or compliance expectations.

Reviews are grounded in recognised good practice and informed by real-world experience of major accident investigations and regulatory scrutiny. We assess how process safety information is generated, escalated, and challenged, how assurance activities provide confidence in risk controls, and whether governance mechanisms support timely and effective decision-making. Findings are translated into practical recommendations that strengthen oversight, clarify accountability, and improve organisational capability to manage material process safety risks over the long term.
