About Us

Safety and Assessment Services has operated since 1994. Since starting there has been steady and sustainable growth in our business. Established originally in Cumbria we operated offices in Scotland and Cumbria before consolidating our operations in Scotland during 2002. Steve Whitty - Technical Director

We are expert and experienced in the application of fault identification and analysis techniques such as Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), hazard / fault tree / event tree analysis and consequence and risk assessment.

Our experience covers the identification and assessment of hazards on oil & gas, pharmaceutical, chemical, nuclear and mechanical plant (as well as non-process applications), the establishment, assessment and improvement of safety management systems in various industry sectors and the definition and delivery of training programmes.

Steve Whitty is a registered tutor with the Institution of Chemical Engineers and has delivered multiple public and in-house courses on their behalf.

Our office is equipped with the latest in computer technology, with a range of common proprietary software packages and full broadband internet links, ensuring that wherever you are and however you operate we can deal with your requirements.

Dunbeath, our base on Scotland's north east coast, is close to two airports (Inverness and Wick), mainline railway links and is on the main A9 trunk road. From there we operate world-wide to provide sound and affordable safety advice to clients large and small in a wide variety of industries, from oil and gas processing and exploration to nuclear power generation, chemical plant operation, defence equipment manufacture and service sector concerns.

We have strong working links with many of the UK Technical Safety Consultancies.
