Lisbeth supports organisations in strengthening investigation quality, operational learning, and safety leadership. She is an accredited Tripod Beta trainer and independent safety and leadership consultant who helps organisations turn incidents into insight, learning and safer operational performance. Her work is guided by a simple belief: no one goes to work intending to cause an accident. Yet when incidents happen, the person closest to the event is often blamed. Lisbeth helps organisations move beyond this last triggering action and understand the wider system of local and organisational conditions, decisions and dilemmas that shape everyday work – both in the office and at operational sites. Before establishing her consultancy in 2009, Lisbeth spent 9 years in the oil and gas industry, working on QHSE in exploration and production. Since then, she has supported organisations across many industries, particularly offshore wind, oil & gas, construction and power generation. Lisbeth has been a member of the Flying Squad since 2010 – a pool of lead investigators available 24/7 for worldwide deployment following major process disturbances and serious incidents. Drawing on this experience, Lisbeth works closely with leaders and investigation teams to help them answer a question many organisations struggle with: what exactly should leaders do to create safer workplaces? Her focus is always the same – turning incidents into insight, real learning and practical improvements, not just another report on the shelf.

Asyraf combines Tripod Beta with practical experience in risk management and process safety environments. He is an accredited Tripod Trainer, accredited BowTie trainer and Risk Management specialist with over a decade of consulting and training experience across Oil & Gas, Maritime, Plantation, Aviation, Utilities, Government, and Higher Education sectors in Malaysia. His work is grounded in a practitioner's frustration: most organisations treat risk assessment as a documentation exercise and incident investigation as a blame-finding exercise. Both produce reports that sit in folders and change nothing. His programmes are designed to break that cycle - giving investigation teams the analytical rigour to trace incidents back to the systemic conditions that shaped them, and giving risk teams the tools to build assessments that reflect how work actually happens. For nearly ten years - from 2014 to 2024 - Asyraf served as Lead Consultant and Trainer at Khalil Trading Services, working directly with clients across Malaysia's most demanding industries. His client work spans major PETRONAS subsidiaries, Sime Darby, MISC Berhad, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Dialog, Dayang Enterprise, Bintulu Port, JKKP (DOSH Malaysia), NIOSH Malaysia, Lynas Malaysia, and Sepang Aircraft Engineering, among many others - delivering risk management consulting, BowTie workshops, and Tripod Beta investigations at both operational and board level. In 2020, he was invited to serve as Examiner at the Post Graduate Symposium on Educating Process Safety Culture towards Smart Society at the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia. Today, Asyraf leads Cikgu Barrier - Malaysia's specialist training provider for Risk Management and Incident Investigation - where he delivers practitioner-led programmes designed to close the gap between what organisations know about safety and what they actually do about it.
