Independent Safety, Control, and Compliance Expertise for Industrial Operations
ITS provides specialist consultancy services that help industrial organisations operate safely, compliantly, and with confidence. From standalone machinery through to large-scale, high-risk industrial plants, we support clients across the full lifecycle of safety and control systems.
Our consultancy services combine deep technical expertise with a practical, collaborative approach. We work alongside operators, engineers, and incumbent suppliers to ensure systems are designed, implemented, and maintained in line with regulatory expectations and real-world operational demands.
Our role is simple: to help organisations reduce risk, meet compliance obligations, and maintain safe, reliable operations over the long term.
Understanding the Modern Consultancy Challenge
Industrial operations today face increasing regulatory scrutiny, ageing assets, and growing pressure to maintain safety while improving efficiency. Many sites operate complex or legacy systems where documentation, verification, and compliance have evolved over time.
At the same time, regulatory frameworks such as IEC 61511, IEC 61508, and UK and EU machinery legislation place clear responsibilities on duty holders. Failing to demonstrate compliance can carry serious operational, financial, and legal consequences.
ITS supports organisations in navigating this complexity. Through independent consultancy, functional safety expertise, and structured verification, we help clients understand their risks, meet regulatory requirements, and maintain safe systems throughout their lifecycle.
