Functional safety activities are most effective by integration into a well-established and proven quality management system.
Building Risk Assessment
Building Risk Assessment (BRA) is a tool used to assess the risks to people in occupied buildings in the facility.
Escape, Evacuation and Rescue Analysis
Escape, Evacuation and Rescue Analysis ensures that the design of a facility is such that the risk to personnel is kept to within the ALARP region.
Functional Safety Assessment
Independent Management of Functional Safety Assessments, Audits & Support.
Functional Safety Lifecycle and Management
Functional Safety Lifecycle and Management is a key requirement demonstrating how Functional Safety is to be implemented and achieved.
Human Factors
Human factor assessment is a key area in identifying potential hazards which may be instigated by human errors.
