Safety Assurance Services is an independent technical consultancy specialising in System Safety and Dependability. Since SAS was founded in 1998, we have provided a personal and professional service, focusing on functional safety for complex systems.

The Partners of SAS are both Chartered Engineers, each with more than 20 years experience of Safety Engineering and Safety Assurance in a wide range of sectors.  We therefore have a detailed understanding of the Safety Standards (e.g. Def Stan 00-56, IEC 61508) and Regulatory requirements that apply to our customers’ business and use this knowledge at all levels from Corporate Management Systems to System Safety Assessments.

We provide a multi-discipline approach relevant to mechanical, electrical, electronic and software-intensive systems.  SAS’s expertise in Safety Engineering means that we have a practical approach to effective Safety Management which is applied to all our services, including:

• Safety Requirements definition

• Hazard and Risk Assessment

• Safety Case Development

• Safety Argument documentation using Goal Structuring Notation and Claims-Argument-Evidence

• Independent Assurance, Independent Advice & Independent Audit

• Bid Support

• Development of Safety Management Systems and Plans (Corporate to Project level)

• Professional Training (from Awareness to Practitioner Training and Board-level Coaching)

SAS works closely with its customers to understand their needs and to provide a responsive service that is both cost-effective and practical.  We have built long-term relationships with major organisations that recognise the value of Safer Systems.
