HS (Hydrogen Safety, LLC) addresses the key barriers to the full commercialization of hydrogen technologies.  Its sole focus is upon improving the quality of the success of hydrogen related projects and products by pro-actively identifying and implementing strategies that minimize risk exposures.  This is accomplished by raising the technology bar of excellence to better ensure the integrity of infrastructure processes and personnel safety through its prudent risk management services and unique safety training programs.

Our strategies and goals are structured along three primary lines of business:

HS provides, to a growing list of leading corporations, industry consortia, and government departments and laboratories, risk assessments for projects and on-demand consulting specific to the generation, transportation, storage, and use of hydrogen. The emphasis is on providing customers with added value that is not readily available from other sources and definitely not at a comparable level of expertise. This practice has helped HS achieve a reputation as the leading independent hydrogen safety expert.

To respond to the critical needs of the key hydrogen industry stakeholders for reliable information, we provide increased Awareness – What do I need to use Hydrogen safely and practical Training – What competencies are necessary for me to do my job when working with Hydrogen?  Our Programs come in several forms because our customers’ needs vary.  HS has evolved the concept of an electronic file cabinet of information for Hydrogen into a unique and comprehensive subscription-based program.  Its “Hydrogen Your Way” Reference Service Program provides unlimited access to the Company’s information modules that are the basis for its hydrogen training courses, a bi-monthly Newsletter and an Ask-The-Expert service.  As mentioned, HS offers hydrogen safety training curricula based on best industry practices, the NASA hydrogen protocol, and emerging codes and standards.  HS offers the first such curricula available as a distance learning (on-line) product

Effective risk management is at the core of hydrogen commercialization.  Risk identification, risk quantification in financial terms, and risk mitigation recommendations and implementation, are essential to a project or product’s success.  HS is uniquely qualified to provide these services based upon the knowledge and experience of the HS Associates.  HS is also implementing strategies and partnerships to be first-to-market with multiple hydrogen-specific insurance products that will lead the way to true commercialization of hydrogen power by mitigating corporate risk and public liability.

The fact that no other third-party entity has comparable, highly-experienced technical and commercial professionals committed to the safe and reliable use of hydrogen allows HS to provide customized solutions to their clients’ needs. If you have a particular question or an unsatisfied need as you develop your projects and/or products, let us tell you how we have assisted our growing client list of Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, fuel cell companies, and project developers solve similar challenges.
