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.

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

  • Follow the entire safety lifecycle for a safety instrumented function
