Functional Safety
Functional safety grounded in process risk.
Keep the safety function
connected to the hazard.
Functional safety should remain traceable from the hazardous event through the required risk reduction and into the implemented safety function. We support projects and operating assets in keeping that connection clear throughout the lifecycle.
Understand risk
Trace the safety function back to the hazardous scenario and required risk reduction.
Define requirements
Set clear functional intent, trip conditions, timing and performance requirements.
Assure design
Support architecture, verification and evidence through project delivery.
Maintain lifecycle
Preserve integrity through testing, operation, bypasses and modification.
Clear from scope
to close-out.
The work focuses on functional intent, independence, architecture, verification and lifecycle controls so the implemented protection continues to do what the original risk assessment required.
Keep each safety function tied to the hazardous event and the specific risk reduction it must deliver.
Define trip logic, timing, process state, reset philosophy and performance requirements clearly.
Check architecture, independence, diagnostics and evidence against the intended SIL and operating context.
Protect integrity through proof testing, bypass management, modification and periodic review.
