Operations and maintenance lifecycle phases are crucial in ensuring the integrity and reliability of the Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Safety instrumented functions (SIFs) may no longer function correctly without a commitment to operations and maintenance, harming people, assets, business continuity, reputation, and the environment.

Dangers for people, machines and the environment exist throughout the entire machine lifecycle. From risk assessment to risk validation, our comprehensive machine safety services help our customers reduce risk, improve compliance, and optimise production.

Risk assessments are the first and most important step on your functional safety journey. Risk assessments help you identify risks, determine if existing measures are adequate and identify risk reduction mechanisms.

The process industry has an obligation to protect people and the environment by continually analysing and assessing their hazardous processes. Risks arising from process hazards need to be identified and appropriate strategies implemented. The international standard IEC 61511 provides a framework to help manage these risks through instrumentation, engineering, and operating practices.
