Making the right decisions about Functional Safety, Process Safety and OT Cyber Security isn't always straightforward. You need to know that the decisions you've made are sound, that the right measures are in place, and that you can demonstrate why.
=Method was established in 2013 as a Functional Safety training company. As our clients' needs developed, so did we. Requests for practical engineering support, consultancy and expertise led us to expand our capabilities and our team. In 2018, =Method became a group by expanding from just Method Functional Safety Ltd to include Method Process Safety Ltd and Method Cyber Security Ltd. These specialist businesses work closely together.
Today =Method provides Training, Engineering Services and Consultancy to help you understand what is required and how to apply it to the realities of your organisation. We clearly explain what to do and give you confidence that the work will stand up to scrutiny. =Method brings together the knowledge and experience needed to address these areas individually or as part of an integrated approach.
We immerse ourselves in the standards, guidance and developing good practice that shape our industry. However, our job isn't simply to pass that knowledge on. Our approach starts with understanding your situation and helping you understand what it means for you. We'll explain what matters, why it matters and what you need to do about it. Where things are working well, we'll recognise and support that. Where there are weaknesses, gaps or areas of non-compliance, we'll tell you clearly and without hesitation. Our advice is delivered with humility and empathy. We're not there to make things more complicated than they need to be. We're there to help you make better decisions.
Today, =Method is employee-owned, with a team based across the UK and Europe, supporting customers around the world. We are one of the UK's largest independent organisations specialising in Functional Safety, Process Safety and OT Cyber Security.
Our growth has always been driven by what our clients need - finding the right people, developing the right expertise and continually improving the way we can help.
Because when you're responsible for safety and security, you shouldn't have to wonder whether you've done enough. You should be confident that you've got it right.

The word Method means “a structured, planned, and repeatable way of doing something”.
Our business name is =Method. We include the equals sign because we want clients to know that, whatever their Functional Safety, Process Safety or Cyber Security challenges, the answer = Method. For this icon, we shorten it to =M.
You will see this graphic on our website and literature. It is made up of a series of tangled lines, representing the complex problems engineers face. Within it, there is a single white line that illustrates how =Method can help you find a clear path through the chaos.
