Developments in global safety standards and technologies have made manufacturing safety a powerful tool to optimize production. The implementation of industrial safety standards and technologies can help to improve risk management and reduce injuries. These standards also provide major improvements in manufacturing productivity, efficiency, and the morale of your employees and customers.
Tap the Potential of Comprehensive Workplace Safety Services
Safety does not have to be a burden on productivity or a cost of doing business. Instead, it can be a powerful tool that benefits your workers, your operations, and your bottom line. Our People and Asset Safety Services meet these needs. We can help you protect employees and comply with the latest standards. We can work with you to find ways to improve safety and reduce risk while optimizing worker and asset productivity.
Lockout/Tagout and Hazardous Energy Control
Hazardous energy control services provide you with comprehensive, digitally enabled lockout/tagout (LOTO) solutions. Our LOTO services can help you efficiently perform routine maintenance for all mechanical, pneumatic, chemical, hydraulic, or thermal equipment. We assess the unique hazardous energy control needs of each company. We then custom tailor a solution that meets your internal requirements as well as for applicable state, federal, and global regulations. With the use of our holistic safety services portfolio, our services also support the enablement of Alternative Protective Measures. This support provides Alternative De-energization Procedures (ADP) on machines with verified and validated safety control systems.
From audits and services to training and digitization, companies around the world recognize our LOTO solutions as the most efficient way to help keep their employees safe.
Machine Safety Services
As the largest global industrial safety provider, we help to reduce injuries and costs, while improving productivity. Our flexible machine safety solutions are designed to meet your production needs and properly document your safety procedures. We use a clearly defined process to help improve safety by identifying the steps that are required to assess and mitigate machinery risks.
With an assessment, we help to evaluate plant risk and support well-informed decisions that improve employee and machine safety. Our thorough review of design and the application of devices improves overall safety. We also verify that systems are operating within defined parameters and standards.

What is Functional Safety?
Functional safety is the part of a system’s design that ensures it operates safely, even when failures occur. It involves identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and implementing safeguards like automated shutdowns, alarms, and redundancy systems to prevent accidents.
Functional safety standards help industries maintain compliance and reliability. It is critical in high-risk sectors like oil and gas, life sciences, mining, manufacturing, and automotive, where system failures can lead to serious harm. The end goal of functional safety is to enhance system reliability, protect human workers, and reduce financial and legal risks for businesses.
Why is Functional Safety Important?
Functional safety prevents accidents and protects workers by ensuring systems operate safely, even in the event of failures. Compliance with functional safety standards ensures regulatory adherence and minimizes legal and financial liability.
By implementing safety mechanisms like automatic shutdowns, alarms, and fail-safes, companies enhance system reliability and operational efficiency. Ultimately, functional safety builds trust, reduces downtime, and helps safeguard both people and assets from catastrophic failures.
