Introduction
Functional process safety involves identifying potential hazardous events that can trigger a chain reaction that could lead to serious or catastrophic consequences. This Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shutdown Systems training explains the requirements of the international standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, for functional safety instrumented system and, covers the entire life cycle of safety instrumented systems, from determining what risk control systems are required through to decommissioning. This also includes the separation of basic process control systems and safety instrumented systems ,layers independent protection how to determine safety integrity levels technology choices and field device issues.
This Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems training primarily focuses on establishing conceptual and detailed design requirements, hazard analysis techniques, safety requirements specification, and the commissioning, operating and maintenance procedures.
This training will highlight:
- Hazard and Risk Reduction Studies
- Explaining Technology an Equipment Choices
- Safety Requirement Specifications
- Selection of Field Devices (Sensors, Programmable Logic Controllers and Valves)
- Establishing Operation and Maintenance Procedures
- Instrumentation and control system.
Course Objectives
This training on Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems is to acquaint instrumentation and control system engineers with the essentials of the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 safety instrumented systems standards and, how they relate to the safety life cycle of developing and maintaining safety instrumented systems. The fundamental tools will enable delegates to evaluate, design, install and maintain Safety Instrumented Systems and to determine their Safety Integrity Level requirements.
At the end of this training, you will learn to:
- Understand requirements of the international standards IEC 61598 and IEC 61511
- Apply the IEC 61508 Safety Instrumented System Development ‘Safety Life Cycle’ model
- Determine the Safety Integrity Level using risk assessment methods
- Understand the specifications of emergency shutdown protection requirements
- Establish specification requirements for sensor, programmable logic controller and valves
- Follow Management of Change (MOC) procedures for control of future Safety Instrumented Systems changes
