Solutions that work together
We manage functional safety. And we equip the people who deliver it.
ROAK is one named functional safety expert for the projects where it has to be right. Around that, a management system, software and a community that support the engineers doing the work, so functional safety is delivered with confidence instead of guesswork.
Independent functional safety authority
Get functional safety right at the right time. Expert guidance for your engineers on nuclear, defence and high-hazard projects, plus independent assessment when the project needs it. As much or as little as it calls for.
TOOLS FOR THE ENGINEERS DOING THE WORK
SILVerify
Know your SIL calculations are right, and prove it. Verification software that takes the spreadsheet risk out of the loop for the engineers doing the work.

Big consultancies assign whoever's free and rotate them off when it suits. ROAK is one named, certified functional safety expert — CFSE, TÜV, 20+ years across nuclear, defence and process — who's sat on the assessor's side of the table. Hands-on with your engineers where it matters, and honest with you about where things actually stand while there's still time to act.
Proven impact
Real outcomes for real projects.
From ONR-regulated nuclear programmes to process contractors putting their first functional safety management system in place.
“Richard has been my main Safety Instrumented Systems consultant during the delivery of a number of significantly complex nuclear and explosive handling projects. He will identify and directly challenge any person or organisation, no matter how confident they are or reluctant they are to comply. He is excellent in this field and he has never let me down.”
— Duncan Wharton, Director, HarroPeak
