Functional & machinery safety, done properly
For higher risk and complex operations: machinery safety, functional safety and safety instrumented systems (SIS), carried out in line with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 by a Chartered Engineer. The same discipline used in aerospace, rail, nuclear and defence.
Chartered Engineer (CEng) · UK Expert Witness · Nationwide
Complex risk, handled with discipline
When the stakes and the standards are high, you need an engineer who works to them every day.
Machinery safety
Risk assessment and compliance support for machinery you build, buy or modify, under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, covering guarding, interlocks and UKCA / CE marking.
Functional safety (SIS)
SIL determination, safety requirements specifications and verification, in line with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
Risk assessment & HAZID
Structured hazard identification and risk assessment for processes, plant and new installations.
Safety case support
Safety documentation backed by evidence for regulators, clients and insurers.
Design review
Independent review of designs and modifications before they reach the floor.
Probabilistic safety analysis
Quantified risk and reliability analysis, such as fault trees, event trees and failure data, to show whether a system meets its risk targets.
Safety assessment to industry standards
Safety assessment to nuclear, aerospace and other industrial standards, from the same engineer who has worked across those regulated sectors.
Safety planning
Safety plans for projects, systems and modifications: who does what, to which standard, and how safety will be shown, from concept to handover.
Typical reasons clients get in touch
If any of these sound familiar, a short conversation with an engineer usually tells you where you stand, and what it will take to sort it.
You might need us if…
- You’re installing, buying or modifying machinery or a production line
- A process relies on safety instrumented functions that need a SIL assessment or verification
- A client, insurer or regulator is asking for evidence your safety systems are adequate
- You want an independent check on a design before it’s built
- Something has gone wrong, or nearly did, and you need to understand why
Where credentials count most
Safety work with serious consequences needs real expertise. Every engagement is led personally by a chartered engineer with functional safety experience, not delegated to a junior or a template.
- Led by an engineer from first call to final report
- A written scope and quote before any work starts
- Straight answers, including when we’re not the right fit
