Hazmat Partners
A Swiss consulting and training firm specialising in hazardous materials.
A partnership of specialists, from the field to the report.
Hazmat Partners Sàrl advises industrial operators, authorities and emergency services on process safety, major accidents and radiation protection. Through Hazmat Partners Academy, we also train the teams who respond.
Our partners bring together chemistry, process engineering and nuclear engineering. We work in French and English.
To help operators, authorities and emergency services control the risks of hazardous materials, through rigorous studies and training grounded in field experience.
To be a reference partner in Switzerland for process safety, major accidents and CBRNE training.
Five principles behind every assignment.
They shape our studies and our courses, and the way we work with you.
Rigour
Every study rests on documented assumptions, verified data and calculations the authority can reproduce. We prefer a cautious, defensible conclusion to a flattering result, and we only sign what we can explain.
Efficiency
Quality deliverables, on the agreed schedule. We continuously improve our methods and calculation tools to run each assignment precisely, without unnecessary steps.
Simplicity
We focus on what matters. Practical solutions, proportionate to the risk and realistic to operate, rather than needlessly complex reports.
Authenticity
We do what we say. Scope, schedule and budget are clear from the outset, and our results are explained plainly.
Mutual support
Our purpose is to help our clients see their projects through. As partners, we share our experience with one another, and through Hazmat Partners Academy we pass on what we learn in the field to the teams who respond.
What sets us apart.
Specialists, not generalists
Each assignment is led by the partner whose field it is.
Emergency response experience
Several partners lead the training of CBRN response specialists. Our recommendations reflect the reality on the ground.
A direct contact
A small partnership: the engineer who carries out your study is the one who answers you.
Recognised training
Our level N4 radiation protection course is recognised by the DDPS.
