Functional Safety Engineer

Course Introduction

Increasingly, industrial processes within the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical and nuclear power industries have the potential for large-scale disasters. Without the luxury of learning from experience, organizations must anticipate and set in place preventative risk control measures before major incidents and accidents occur. Axiomatically, The best safety system is not the most expensive safety system but rather it is the most practicable system, one that does not cause production losses whilst seeking to achieve a realistic level of risk reduction.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to know:

• Check if the plant complies with the latest international safety standards IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 which can be applied immediately.
• Practical understanding of the key sections of IEC 61511 and 61508 without wading through hundreds of pages of standards documents.
• Determine required SIL ratings. This has the potential to save costs by avoiding needlessly high specifications for your trip systems. Design the SIS to meet IEC requirements for SIL targets
• Minimize or avoid spurious trips and create the potential to reduce production losses.
• Know how HAZOP studies are performed and be able to define SIS requirements.
• Know how to allocate safety tasks to both instrumented and non-instrumented protection layers to reduce dependency on a single method of protection.
• Understand hazard and risk reduction methods
• Know how to use Reliability analysis and fault tree analysis to predict accident rates and failure rates. Also understand failure modes and the concepts of fault tolerance
• Review the selection of field devices technology choices.

Training Methodology
