Expert Webinar - Designing and Verifying Safety Instrumented Systems

Not only can safety incidents lead to unplanned downtime and create risk of steep governmental fines, they can also jeopardize the well being of personnel.   The Safety Lifecycle (SLC) and associated Safety Instrumented Systems should be a part of your comprehensive safety strategy - from the conceptual design of facilities through maintenance and decommissioning of plants.

ISA 84 and ISA 61511 are performance-based standards providing an alternative to more rigid rules outlining specific design safety practices.   Because of the freedom allowed by these performance-based approaches, the design engineer becomes directly responsible for doing probabilistic calculations to show that their design provides an adequate level of safety.

Watch this free, on-demand webinar to learn best practices for defining, analyzing and verifying safety levels of proposed and existing safety systems.

• The importance of The Safety Lifecycle and safety integrity levels
• How probabilistic calculations are used to verify the integrity level of the safety design
• How to define and document the activities needed to assure functional safety
