About

We work closely with our customers to help them understand and manage the risks of major accidents within their operations.

Ultimately our goal is to increase the competencies of individuals, teams and organisations, fostering a culture of continuous safety improvement across the industry. With extensive experience of working in-house for major operators and service providers, we have a real insight into the legislative and technical requirements of this sector, including navigating safety case regulations.

Our services

People

We’re a tight-knit team of engineers, software developers, and much more, working together towards one common goal: reducing the likelihood of major accidents in hazardous industries.

We’re based in Aberdeen, Scotland and work with many operators in the North Sea to ensure offshore workers get home safely. But our work also spans globally, and across many different industries. Our risk management software is used by safety personnel from Belgium to Antarctica, in tourism, building safety, aerospace and more. And we’ve inspired thousands of non-safety professionals to take action towards a safer workplace with our Process Safety Training course.

We give our all to every project we work on! We take a people-first approach to everything we do. Check out our services to see how we could help you manage your risk.

Leadership

Salus Technical was founded by David Jamieson in 2015. A Principal Technical Safety Engineer, David’s frontline experience of working with operators has equipped him with an effective blend of the technical expertise and practical knowledge to help people understand and manage their risk.

David’s Masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering took him into the exhilarating world of Formula 1, where he joined the Aerodynamics department of Red Bull Racing as a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer. Is it a coincidence that Red Bull Racing won the Championship both seasons David worked for them?!
In 2011 David moved to Aberdeen and transferred his valuable skill-set to the oil and gas sector, where he worked as a Technical Safety Consultant, carrying out fire and explosion modelling.
Since launching Salus Technical in 2015, the firm has supported oil and gas operators with technical safety engineering on a variety of brownfield, greenfield and decommissioning projects. Recently, David supported Equinor as their Technical Safety Technical Authority for the UK, with responsibilities in training, operational risk assessment, performance standards and supporting HSE inspections.
