Rapid growth of Safety Execution Centers

ABB’s global network of Safety Execution Centers (SEC) has grown significantly over the past four years, expanding from 10 to 30 centers located within every region and supporting high hazard industrial sectors.

These centers provide ABB customers with in-country dedicated and competent functional safety resources for safety instrumented system (SIS) project execution, design, engineering, modification and maintenance. The centers also provide access to local safety standard experts and technology experts. Globally, ABB has more than 700 TÜV, CFSE-certified and ABB technology-certified safety engineers.

The safety centers provide individual accreditation (either TÜV Rheinland or TÜV SÜD) for each country for Functional Safety Management System (FSMS) delivery, implementation, operations and maintenance.
