Safety Integrity Levels Course
Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) represent a crucial aspect of functional safety in various industries, particularly those involving hazardous processes or operations. SILs categorize the reliability and effectiveness of safety instrumented systems (SIS) in mitigating risks associated with potential hazards.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:-
- Have a good understanding of the Standards related to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) which include IEC 61508, IEC 61511 and ISA S84
- Become familiar with the safety life cycle including its phases & the safety requirement specification for Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
- Learn how to integrate risk reduction and risk management as well as know the proper hazard analysis for HAZOP study, Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis & Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- Select sensors and final elements, determine the probable causes of failure and list the general requirements for fail safe operations
- Give a detailed explanation on Safety Instrumented Systems including its safety architecture and major systems as well as answer how SIF fits with SIS and SIL
- Understand the SIL application for safety instrumented level, compare low demand mode & continuous mode and determine the probability of failure on demand
- Develop a proper SIL determination by using the ALARP, semi quantitative, safety layer matrix, risk graph and LOPA methods
- Give a detailed SIL verification & validation, provide a SIS documentation schedule & risk reduction diagrams and demonstrate proof testing
- Explain the certified software models for safety software, development life cycle and asset management software
- Illustrate the operation, planning and maintenance of SIS & recognize the need for smart Safety Instrumented Systems, intelligent field devices, digital communications and smart logic solvers
- Cite practical examples of risk graph, risk matrix and LOPA methods
