SIL Certified Professional: Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) {IEC 61511 and IEC 61508}: Functional Safety

Introduction

This course will explain the basic concepts, definitions, and commonly used terms in Safety Instrumented Systems and provide a basic understanding of SIS related concepts. Further, this course discusses the fundamentals of ANSI/ISA 84.00.01-2004 Parts 1-3 (IEC 61511 modified). The course content is designed to provide the participant with an understanding of how to implement the requirements of the safety instrumented system (SIS) standards, to perform layers of protection analysis, to create a design to meet the safety integrity level (SIL), and to verify that the SIL has been achieved. It will also introduce the participant to the guidance contained in the draft technical report, ISA TR84.00.04, which concerns the implementation of ANSI/ISA 84.00.01-2004.

Objectives

    Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to

    • Apply a comprehensive knowledge in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) covering functional safety
    • Emphasize the safety instrumented system management responsibilities and interpret the applicable safety standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511, ANSI/ISA S84.01
    • Identify the phases of the safety life cycle and be able to determine the safety requirement specification
    • Apply the various process hazard analysis namely the fault tree analysis, event tree analysis & FMEA and be able to heighten awareness on HAZOP study
    • Use a system approach on safety instrumented systems including its function & level and be to improve SIL determination using the ALARP method, semi quantitative methods, safety layer matrix method, risk graph method & LOPA Method
    • Acquire knowledge on SIL verification & validation using a structured approach and be able to review & improve SIS documentation
    • Apply proof testing on SIS & ESD in process industry and be able to conduct diagnostic procedures & partial valve stroking
    • Perform the process of selecting sensors, final elements & logic solvers and learn safety software models including their application
    • Employ the operation & maintenance of SIS & ESD following the guidelines & procedures on planning & implementation
    • Recognize the importance of SMART Safety Instrumented Systems including the intelligent field devices, digital communications, smart logic solvers & complete loop solution & be able to implement SMART SIS

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

  • Instrumentation and control engineers and technicians
  • Design, installation and maintenance engineers and technicians in the process industries
  • Sales professionals employed by end users
  • Engineering firms
  • System integrators
  • System consultants

Course Outline

The course is aimed at those who have responsibilities within the scope of IEC 61508 & IEC 61511. In particular:

  • Systems integrators of Safety Instrumented Systems is designed to meet the requirements of IEC 61511
  • Plant managers of process plants who have responsibility for the management of functional safety involving Safety Instrumented systems
  • Control and instrumentation engineers, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers who have responsibility for HAZOPs and SIL determination exercises, specification, design, operation and maintenance of plants employing Safety Instrumented Systems
  • End-users' who wish to have a better understanding of the design and systems integration process so they are able to make informed decisions that have an impact the operation and maintenance phase (e.g. implications on future maintainability of the safety instrumented systems)
