Functional Safety
We offer specialist engineering services throughout the functional safety lifecycle
Capabilities
Our services are complemented by our engineering tool ISET and the Solve SaaS platform. The functional safety module provides a complete set of functional safety management tools, utilities, processes, and data structures.
Our functional safety services and capabilities include the following:
- Retrospective IEC61508/11 Compliance
- Safety Lifecycle Management
- Hazard & Risk Assessments
- Integrity Level Determination
- Integrity Level Verification
- Safety Requirement Specifications
- SIS Design
- SIS Installation, Commissioning & Validation
- Maintenance & Proof Testing Strategies
Retrospective Compliance
Retrospective IEC61508 / IEC61511 compliance is often difficult to achieve economically and usually incurs significant technical and delivery risk.
We have developed an innovative approach that helps reduce engineering effort while also mitigating risks throughout the improvement programme. A typical improvement encompasses the following phases:
- Phase 1 – Coarse Review & Screening
- Phase 2 – Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
- Phase 3 – Allocation of Safety Functions to Protection Layers
- Phase 4 – Safety Requirement Specification
- Phase 5 – Design & Engineering of SIS
- Phase 6 – Installation, Commissioning & Validation
Live Performance Monitoring
Our ISET and Solve products enable live safety performance monitoring. This includes:
- Bypass Analysis & Reporting
- Trip & Demand Rate Analysis & Reporting
- Live PFDavg Analysis & Reporting
We offer a functional safety performance reporting service at the asset or enterprise level. A report is typically produced once a quarter showing current performance using both leading and lagging indicators. The report makes recommendations to improve performance as required.
