    Safeti

    DNV's pages describe Safeti as software that models consequences and risk in one interface, calculating risk from user-provided leak frequencies, ignition, weather, population and vulnerability data. Standard outputs include individual risk contours, FN curves and potential loss of life; typical uses named include fire and explosion risk assessment, occupied buildings risk assessment and risk-based design. Add-ons extend explosion, mixture and solid-explosion modelling. The vendor states that more than 1,000 organizations use it.

    Evidence: Researched profile

    Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made

    Who is Safeti for?

    Process safety engineers and consultants who must produce numerical risk results for major hazard sites, occupied buildings or facility layouts. Results depend on inputs the analyst supplies, and use calls for trained specialists. Links to business systems and mobile use are not described; hosted access is limited to the FAQ's pre-installed virtual machine. Some explosion outputs need an add-on, and CFD import needs version 9.1 or later.

    Watch for: Results rest on user-supplied inputs and need specialist skills.

    Published price: Individual licence from EUR 16,513 per month; Network licence from EUR 19,428 per month. Trial or demo on request. Sources checked .

    Capabilities and scope

    Safeti is quantitative risk analysis software from DNV. It is an engineering consequence and risk-modelling tool for process plants, not a QHSE management system with workflows, records or registers. This profile covers Safeti and the add-ons its pages list. Phast sold on its own, which has its own page and price, Safeti Offshore and DNV's other software are out of scope. Safeti QRA software with its Extended Explosions, Multi-Component and Solid Explosions add-ons; licence types, training and support as the pages describe them.

    Consequence and risk modelling in one toolDocumented by vendor

    The Safeti page describes modelling consequences and risks in one interface, with risk calculated from user-provided leak frequencies, ignition, weather, population and vulnerability data.

    Individual and societal risk resultsDocumented by vendor

    The Safeti page says LSIR contours, FN curves and PLL are standard, with risk ranking points at any map location and sensitivity studies. The FAQ says the focus is fatality risk.

    Occupied buildings risk assessmentDepends on scope

    A dedicated page describes TNO multi-energy and Baker-Strehlow-Tang explosion methods and API 752 and 753 guidance; it marks multiple building types, frequency contours and exceedance curves as needing the explosions add-on.

    Loss of containment effects modellingDocumented by vendor

    The FAQ describes discharge, dispersion, flammable and toxic effects, fires, explosions and BLEVE, shared with Phast; multi-component two-phase releases need the Multi-Component extension.

    Extended Explosions add-onDepends on scope

    A separately priced add-on that needs a valid Safeti or Phast version; it adds three-dimensional vapour cloud explosion modelling, combined effect contours and building vulnerability categories.

    Demo script

    Proposed demo: facility risk study to occupied building result

    1. Set up a sample facility with leak frequencies, weather and population data.
    2. Run the study and review individual risk contours, the FN curve and risk ranking points.
    3. Add an occupied building and show the explosion outputs, noting which need an add-on.
    4. Change one mitigation measure and compare the risk results before and after.
    5. Export contours as a shapefile and open them in a GIS.

    Proposed demo: loss of containment scenario to effects and validation

    1. Define a release scenario for one of our flammable substances and one toxic substance.
    2. Run the consequence modelling and show the discharge, dispersion, fire and explosion effects.
    3. Repeat with a multi-component two-phase release and note whether the Multi-Component add-on is needed.
    4. Import a CFD results file from our own tool and note the version it requires.
    5. Request the verification and validation document for flammable and toxic releases and ask what it covers.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Which licence type and term do we need, and how does the monthly rate change between a 1 month term and a multi-year term?
    2. Run one of our own facility layouts and show the risk contours and FN curve, including the inputs we must supply.
    3. Which of our required explosion outputs need an add-on, and what does it cost for our licence type?
    4. Which version do we receive, and what do support and upgrades cover during the licence?
    5. Which regulators in our jurisdiction accept Safeti results, and what validation documents can DNV supply?
