Safety Related Control System
Ensure Reliable, Compliant, and Fail-Safe Operations
Comprehensive Assessment of Control Systems
Our process begins with a detailed evaluation of your safety-related control systems, including:
​
-
Safety PLCs and safety relays
-
Emergency stops and interlocks
-
Guard monitoring and light curtains
-
Functional safety compliance with ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061
​​
We identify potential hazards, assess failure modes, and verify that your systems provide the intended level of protection for operators and machinery.
Clear, Actionable Reporting
Following the assessment, you receive a detailed report documenting:
​
-
System compliance with relevant standards
-
Functional safety evaluation results
-
Identified risks and potential system failures
-
Recommended actions to improve safety and reliability
​​
Our reports are designed to be practical and actionable, giving you confidence that your safety-related control systems will function correctly when they are needed most.
Ongoing Support & Safety Partnership
Safety is a continuous responsibility. We work with you to implement improvements, monitor system performance, and provide guidance for updates or modifications. By partnering with us, you gain a trusted advisor to maintain reliable and compliant safety control systems throughout your machinery’s lifecycle.
Safety Validation Services
Comprehensive Safety Validation
Our safety validation process involves detailed testing and verification of your machinery and safety systems, including:
​
-
Functional checks of safety-related control systems
-
Verification of emergency stops, interlocks, light curtains, valves, drives and motors
-
Confirmation of risk reduction measures identified in risk assessments
-
Compliance validation against ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061, PUWER, and CE/UKCA standards
​
By systematically validating your machinery, we ensure that all safety functions perform reliably under normal and fault conditions, minimising risk to operators and protecting your business.
Clear, Actionable Reporting
Following validation, you receive a comprehensive report documenting:
​
-
Results of functional and compliance testing
-
Any deviations or failures and recommended corrective actions
-
Verification that risk reduction measures are effective
-
Evidence to demonstrate regulatory compliance
​​
Our reports are practical, clear, and designed to help you implement improvements and maintain full compliance with safety standards.
Ongoing Support & Safety Partnership
Safety validation is not a one-time activity. We provide guidance on re-validation after machinery modifications, upgrades, or relocation, and advise on maintaining ongoing compliance.
By partnering with us, you gain a trusted advisor to ensure your machinery safety systems remain effective throughout their operational lifecycle.
Safety Calculations Services
Comprehensive Safety Calculations
Our team performs detailed calculations to assess the performance and reliability of your machinery’s safety systems. This includes:
​
-
Determining Performance Level (PL) in accordance with ISO 13849-1
-
Calculating Safety Integrity Level (SIL) in accordance with IEC 61508 / IEC 62061
-
Evaluating failure modes and safety function reliability
-
Verifying emergency stops, interlocks, light curtains, and other safety devices
​​
By performing these calculations, we help you understand the effectiveness of your safety measures and identify areas for improvement before issues arise.
Clear, Actionable Reporting
After completing our calculations, you receive a comprehensive safety report including:
​
-
Calculated PL or SIL ratings for each safety function
-
Assessment of compliance with relevant machinery safety standards
-
Recommendations to address gaps or optimise performance
-
Prioritised actions to enhance operator protection
​​
Our reports are clear, actionable, and designed to provide you with confidence that your safety systems meet or exceed regulatory requirements.
Ongoing Support & Safety Partnership
Safety calculations are not a one-time task—they must be reviewed whenever machinery is modified, upgraded, or integrated into new processes. We work with you to update calculations, provide advice on modifications, and ensure your safety functions remain compliant and effective throughout the lifecycle of your machinery.
