Failure of safety systems can result in damage or injury and your customers could lost trust in you.

The BS EN 61508 series contains a set of requirements that can help you as a product/system designer, specifier or end user to deploy appropriate safety systems to reduce these failures. It can also make complying with safety regulation more straightforward.
 
By ensuring that your products and systems are appropriately safe, you'll help build trust between designers and end users without over-engineering.
