In this course “Introduction to Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)”, the basic guidelines will be seen to understand the need to apply the requirements of current international standards for the design and implementation of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), as well as to understand the concept of life cycle of SIS.

During the course you will look at the basic concepts of SIS design, including specification of safety requirements, qualitative and quantitative risk assessment techniques, determination of safety functions (SIF), assignment of the level of safety integrity, SIS architectures, and briefly the installation, validation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of SIS.

At the end of the course, attendees will understand the how, when and why of the need to implement Safety Instrumented Systems in process plants.

Topics:

• What is Functional Safety?
• Definition of SIS.
• Functional Safety Standards.
• IEC 61508 / IEC 61511 Safety Lifecycle
• Risk Assessment
• Quantitative Risk Analysis
• Safety Instrumented Functions – SIF
  • Definition of SIL
  • Assigning Security Integrity Levels
  • SIL Verification
• SIS Design
• Validation \ Verification
• Installation, Mechanical Testing and Pre-Commissioning Acceptance Test
• Operation, Maintenance and Test Procedures
• Change Management

• Control and instrumentation engineers, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers who work in plants that use safety instrumented systems.
• System integrators of safety instrumented systems.

Prior knowledge

No previous knowledge of Safety Instrumented Systems is required to attend the course accredited by certificates of attendance at Functional Safety of Processes courses.

Certificates

• Certificate of attendance accrediting the key topics covered in the course.
• Attendees who wish to do so can take an exam for the certification of the knowledge acquired.

Recognitions:
