SINTEF - Safety and Reliability

SINTEF Safety and Reliability performs contract research within the safety, reliability, maintenance and quality disciplines. The department has extensive experience in supporting the petroleum sector, onshore industry, transport (air, maritime, and rail) and the public sector with solving problems within its work areas. Practical problem-solving skills combined with scientific competence and analytical capabilities have resulted in several innovations in safety and reliability techniques.

Important research activities include the development of models, tools, databases, and standards for the efficient treatment of safety and reliability matters. The staff has expertise in most of the engineering disciplines, mathematical statistics and social sciences. We focus on evaluation of technical, human and organizational factors as a whole.
