Risk, Safety and Security

An increasingly high-tech and complex society entails an increase in vulnerability; there are ever more risks and they are ever more serious. Risk analysis is called for in an expanding number of areas as a basis for minimising adversity, avoiding financial losses and managing the consequences of different occurrences. This area also involves the capacity to manage threats of terrorism and natural disaster. SP supports the development of products for national security purposes. Mechanical risks, electrical security, fire protection, machine security and reliable systems are all within our field of expertise.
