Ensuring safety in industry

Digitalisation, extreme weather phenomena, urbanisation – more and more factors affect the technical safety in industry and built environment more extensively than ever before.

Safety is affected by several factors that are interconnected in different areas in industrial sites. A project typically has several implementers, which brings challenges to managing the whole, costs and schedule.

We are safety and security planning partner for industry

A safe and secure production plant is a prerequisite for responsible and resilient business.

We design the technical safety services needed in the industrial production plant, both for individual sites and for the industry as a whole. We provide quality expert services for managing the overall safety of the industry. Technical safety guides everything we design. With our safety assessment service, we find out the current level of safety and compliance with the requirements of the production plant in the areas of process safety, cyber safety and machine safety, among others.

Good process security requires metrics and change management to work. It is necessary to know what is being monitored, against which safety is being assessed and what changes require a reassessment of the risks. Cyber ​​security is an integral part of process security, as the industrial process must be secured wherever an email account is. Machine safety covers the maintenance and purchase of machines in use. We find out the safety requirements and effects on the machine line quickly and cost-effectively.

The safety perspective goes uninterrupted from the first environmental assessment and continues to all stages of design and operation, up to the safe shutdown and dismantling of the plant. Sweco is an expert who understands the whole and offers its clients an expert service that takes into account the various aspects of safety and security.

The starting point for safety planning is risk assessment and safety management. Security includes process and equipment security, security automation systems, compliance assessment, information flow, and change management with documentation. The information security of an industrial plant has become an important area of ​​security. We are involved in international standardization work in the field.
