But not only that, it helps to identify the professionals, the departments, the companies in charge of the work activities along with their responsibilities. As well as the necessary documentation, procedures and the various means to carry out the work activities.

Ubuntu, our safety mascot, is calling all functional safety professionals. He wants everybody to be safe at all times.
