Geo-Industry Risk Working Group

The geo-associations, including ADSC, DFI, Geo-Institute, Geotechnical Business Association, and PDCA, all provide risk-related activities and resources for the industry (guidance documents, seminars, white papers, etc.) While each group continues to pursue their own activities independently, the groups are also collaborating in this industry-wide group on risk to increase awareness of associations’ activities, reduce duplication of efforts, facilitate collaboration, and address risk practices that can be agreed will improve the industry.
