Functional Safety

Functional safety refers to designing systems so they operate safely even if parts of the system fail or encounter problems. It involves identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and implementing safeguards to prevent accidents or harm. This is essential in areas like automotive, industrial machinery, and medical devices, where failure could cause injury or damage. By ensuring that safety functions are reliably performed, functional safety helps protect people, property, and the environment, maintaining trust and compliance with safety standards.
