a brand-new training course that covers the most recent guidelines and techniques for using emergency shutdown and safety instrumented systems to safeguard potentially dangerous operations for managers, engineers, and technicians. The most effective safety systems are not the priciest ones; rather, they are the most workable ones, preventing production losses while attempting to accomplish a reasonable degree of risk reduction. The administration, planning, and implementation of automatic safety systems in compliance with the recently published standard, IEC 61511, are the main topics of this NEW session. The growing trend of digital communications in the context of industrial plants has resulted in a plethora of issues related to interconnectivity and disparate standards provided by numerous rival vendors.

Course Objectives:
