Telford-based iconsys, one of the UK’s leading control and automation specialists, is strengthening its mission to reduce the £1.4 billion annual cost of workplace injuries and accidents by doubling the size of its functional safety team. With decades of experience across over ten industry sectors, iconsys is launching a powerful new consultative service aimed at helping businesses improve compliance, reduce risk, and enhance operational efficiency.
The new offering includes a comprehensive industrial safety audit, followed by iconsys’ proven multi-phase functional safety methodology, delivered by a rapidly growing team of consultants and TÜV-certified engineers trained to international standards including ISO 13849, IEC 61511, and TÜV 4414/11.
The enhanced safety services are now available to both existing and new customers across critical sectors such as automotive, aerospace and defence, construction materials, FMCG, marine and ports, pulp and paper, transportation infrastructure, and energy transition.
Leandro Gasparini, Head of Services at iconsys, explained:
“When you’re dealing with daily operational pressures, functional safety can seem overwhelming. We’re here to support teams lacking in-house expertise and struggling with complex compliance issues. But functional safety is about more than ticking boxes — it can unlock real improvements in efficiency and safety by identifying risks and modernising outdated equipment.”
The company’s new consultative model begins with a site-wide machinery assessment to identify existing risks and compliance gaps. From there, the team develops a structured functional safety framework, ensuring equipment and operations align with the latest standards. The process continues with engineering design, followed by verification and validation, using tools like SISTEMA to confirm functional integrity and reliability.
Gasparini continued:
“Early intervention is key. The sooner we engage with clients, the sooner we can deliver solutions that minimise downtime and financial disruption — while improving workplace safety and culture.”
iconsys has formalised its 5-step functional safety methodology, refined over 30 years, to ensure a repeatable, high-integrity approach. Alongside this, its services division now offers digitalisation, cybersecurity, energy management, site assessments, and sustainability consulting, enabling full lifecycle support for industrial operations.
“We’re offering companies peace of mind — a single-source solution for improving compliance, reducing risk, and boosting long-term performance. Our expertise helps clients move from reactive to proactive safety management, using cutting-edge technology to future-proof their operations.”
To support growing demand, iconsys has launched a major recruitment drive to grow its team to 115 highly skilled professionals over the next year. Located at its state-of-the-art smart manufacturing facility in Telford, the company is scaling up to meet increased demand for solutions around decarbonisation, automation, sustainability, and cybersecurity.
By investing in people, partnerships, and proven processes, iconsys is setting a new standard for functional safety excellence in UK industry.
