Safety

Navigating the complexities and challenges of Technical Safety is crucial for efficient and secure operations. Our comprehensive approach includes services such as HAZOP, ATEX, Process Safety in line with IEC-61511, and Machine Safety following ISO-13849 standards.

Let’s talk

By leveraging extensive knowledge and tailored solutions, compliance, safety, and optimization can be achieved, ensuring excellence in technical safety throughout your organization.

HAZOP KNOW-HOW:
IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS & TRAINING

Our Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) services focus on mapping, analyzing, and evaluating process deviations, catering to new and existing installations across various industries. With our experienced HAZOP Leader and Scribe, we ensure an efficient analysis while emphasizing the linking of causes and consequences.

Our adapted software enables swift report preparation, and we provide tailored HAZOP training. Additionally, our consultants are well-versed in alternative methodologies such as Fine & Kinney, FMEA, LOPA, QRA, and TRA.

ATEX: EXPERTISE IN EXPLOSION RISK MANAGEMENT

ATEX, or ‘ATmosphères Explosibles,’ addresses the correlation between explosion risk and applicable safety measures. Our expertise covers essential ATEX guidelines and standards, including ATEX 153, ATEX 114, IEC-60079, API-505, NFPA-497, and NPR-9710.

We offer ATEX advice and support for existing and new installations, creation or updates of GEVD and SEVD documents, hazardous area drawings, ATEX inspections, and customized ATEX training courses, ensuring a safe working environment in areas with potential explosion hazards.

PROCESS SAFETY ENGINEERING:
IEC-61511 SPECIALISTS

Companies face increasing pressure to manage risks and prevent avoidable incidents. Our focus is on process safety in the process industry, particularly those involving hazardous products. We support businesses in aligning with the IEC61511 ed2 standard, which provides guidance on functional safety and safety instrumented systems for the process industry.

By offering advice and practical implementation within the entire Functional Safety life-cycle, we help companies establish the framework, methodologies, and documentation required to effectively control risks.

MACHINE SAFETY ENGINEERING: ISO-13849 EXPERTISE

ISO 13849-1 is a risk-based standard for machine safety. By conducting risk assessments, we identify the safety functions and performance levels (PL) needed to mitigate risks. Complying with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is achievable through the implementation of this standard.

A multidisciplinary knowledge set Agidens apart in machine safety engineering. We support customers in risk assessment and determining the required Performance Level (PLr) of safety functions to achieve acceptable residual risk. Our expertise extends beyond advice to include practical implementation in designing safety functions.

CE MARKING:
TRUSTED ADVICE & THOROUGH SUPPORT

Navigating the complexities of CE marking can be challenging, as manufacturers may struggle to determine which regulations apply and which obligations they must fulfill. Agidens offers expert guidance and comprehensive support, providing clarity and simplifying the process for manufacturers.

Our experienced professionals help you understand the interplay between harmonized standards and guidelines, ensuring compliance and facilitating a smooth path to market for their products.
