Press Release – ABSG Consulting Inc. (ABS Consulting) has been selected by Prime Tanker Management (Prime) to implement the recently launched Restart Risk Model™ to help resume operations safely at the company’s facility in Athens, Greece, and mitigate COVID-19 risk.
ABS Consulting will work with Prime’s Incident Management Team (IMT) virtually to assess the inherent risk of each site area, select recommended controls and develop enterprise-level policy and training solutions.
“We look forward to working with Prime as they develop a plan to restart operations with enhanced working practices that address the ‘new normal’ environment surrounding the pandemic,” says Ryan Moody, President and CEO at ABS Group. “This risk-based framework was created with our vast global network in mind, supporting business leaders as they act quickly to bring employees back to work safely.”
