Safety Engineering forms an integral part of the systems engineering lifecycle including requirements definition, procurement, installation, acceptance and continued safe operation of all platforms, equipment and services. Principally it should enable safety to be designed into a system early in the project through structured engineering methodologies and the right subject matter experts. Early consideration of functional safety engineering is critical to avoid costly redesign or sub optimal operations.
Ospreys approach is based on industry best practice across various civil and military domains, in most cases we are able to bring good practice from across different domains. We believe in an open, honest and collaborative relationship with our clients, this enables our clients to be fully informed of the safety programme throughout the project lifecycle.
Osprey have extensive and varied experience of all aspects of Functional Safety Engineering having supported a diverse range of platforms, weapons systems, equipment, and services in all areas of the project lifecycle in both defence and civil sectors.
At Osprey, our teams of suitable qualified and experienced engineering consultants can support you in the following areas:
