SIL Assessment

COURSE:

This is a two day workshop for Plant & Safety Managers, Electrical/ Instrument Engineers that are involved with the Risk Management / Specification / Installation / Maintenance of systems providing Risk Reduction to People / Environment associated with operating plant.

This is an important course because if a SIL requirement assessment is properly on a process then typically 85% + of everything that is assessed does not require any safety integrity level. This is particularly true where SIL considerations go hand-in-hand with a process designed for safety and engineered to codes of practice. Thus, whenever this aspect of IEC61508 is executed well, both a consistent determination of when a safety loop is required and that safety shutdown systems are correctly specified is achieved.

(Life Cycle Phases: BS IEC 61511-1. 1 Clause 8 & 2 Clause 9)

AIM:

To provide the 'end user' with the ability to:

Enable hazard and risk assessment to people /environment [and assets].

Identify other risk reduction techniques and assessment of their risk reduction.

Determine if an Instrumented Function is required and it's Integrity Level.

Produce a preliminary Requirements Specification
