Functional process safety focuses on identifying potential hazards that could lead to a series of events resulting in severe or catastrophic outcomes. This Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems training course by Energy will guide participants through the international standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, which pertain to functional safety for instrumented systems. The course covers the complete lifecycle of safety instrumented systems (SIS), from identifying necessary risk control systems to decommissioning. It also emphasizes the distinction between basic process control systems and safety instrumented systems (SIS), independent protection layers (LOPs), determining safety integrity levels (SILs), technology selection, and issues related to field devices.
The primary focus of this Energy training course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of both conceptual and detailed design requirements, hazard analysis techniques, safety requirements specifications, as well as the commissioning, operation, and maintenance processes for SIS.
The key aspects covered in this Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems training will include:
- Hazard and risk reduction studies
- Selection of appropriate technology and equipment
- Developing safety requirements specifications for SIS
- Choosing field devices such as sensors, programmable logic controllers, and valves
- Establishing procedures for operation and maintenance
This Energy training course on Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems is designed to familiarize instrumentation and control system engineers with the essential principles of the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards for safety instrumented systems. It will provide the necessary tools for evaluating, designing, installing, and maintaining Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) while determining the required Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) throughout the safety lifecycle.
By the end of this Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down System training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the requirements of the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 international standards
- Apply the Safety Life Cycle model outlined in IEC 61508 for SIS development
- Use risk assessment techniques to determine the appropriate Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
- Comprehend the specifications for emergency shutdown protection systems
- Establish detailed specifications for sensors, programmable logic controllers, and valves
- Implement Management of Change (MOC) procedures to control future modifications to the SIS
This Energy Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems training course uses a range of approaches for learning, including group activities, exercises and case studies. Key part of the learning process is sharing of experiences and knowledge. Throughout the training course, delegates will learn through active participation using exercises and case studies.
Beyond the professional growth of employees, the organization will be able to strategically allocate resources to effectively develop and manage safety instrumentation system projects, including:
- Implementing safety instrumented systems that enhance both production efficiency and safety
- Utilizing established risk assessment and analysis techniques for competent SIS development
- More effectively upgrading existing emergency shutdown controls
- Boosting confidence in preventing hazardous incidents
Participants will be able to apply the knowledge gained from this Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shut-down Systems training course to practically identify, develop, and implement safety instrumented systems.
- Delegates will acquire the skills to select appropriate technologies that align with IEC 61508 / 61511 standards.
- With these skills, attendees will be equipped to effectively implement the SIS safety life cycle.
