Outline

• Background to the functional safety standards
• Key concepts and the safety lifecycle
• Risk assessment and target SIL
• Safety requirements specification
• Safety device selection, cyber security and SIS design
• Operation, maintenance and modification
• Verification, validation, audit and assessment
• Knowledge review quiz

Who is this for?

This training is targeted to asset owner / end user and engineering contractors / EPC stakeholder managers, project engineers, process engineers, safety engineers, operations managers, electrical, control, instrumentation, maintenance and application engineers who require a general introduction and awareness to the functional safety standards and the key requirements for compliance.

The course is particularly useful for those managers and engineers who may be directly or indirectly involved in executing SIS projects covering any phase of the safety lifecycle from hazard and risk assessment, through engineering and design to operations and maintenance.

What prior study is recommended?

Completion of an awareness course in the subject area, or equivalent practical experience, beneficial but not essential.

At the end of the course you should be able to:

• Describe the principles of functional safety and key features of IEC 61511
• Describe the requirements of the Safety Lifecycle
• Appreciate the methods available to determine Safety Integrity Levels (SIL)
• Appreciate the need for safety lifecycle processes, procedures, methods and techniques
• Understand the key factors used in the SIS engineering and design such as random hardware failure, architectural constraints and systematic capability
• Understand requirements for operations, maintenance and modification
