In safety-critical industries, balancing safety and availability is essential. Whether you’re in oil and gas, chemical processing, or power generation, your systems must be both safe and reliable. While most engineers focus heavily on safety integrity, process availability is equally important.

This is why we at Risknowlogy invented the Spurious Trip Level (STL)—to help companies measure and control the risk of unnecessary system shutdowns. In this article, we'll explain why spurious trips are not just an inconvenience but a significant safety risk, and how STL can help optimize both safety and reliability.

In the age of interconnected systems, functional safety and cybersecurity are different but go hand in hand. Whether you're an engineer, a manager, or a safety professional, understanding this vital synergy is crucial.

Functional safety audits are the compass that keeps your functional safety measures on the right track. Whether you're an engineer, a manager, or part of a safety team, here are best practices to make your audits count.

Safety isn't just a priority; it's a core value. Whether you're an engineering manager, a team leader, or an engineer, fostering a safety-first culture is key to long-term success and well-being.

Safety isn't an individual effort; it's a collective responsibility. Whether you're an engineer, a manager, or part of a safety team, here's how to foster safety awareness among your team members.
