SIL Verification (Part 2 of SIL Workshop Series)

Provides participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to conduct SIL Validation studies that are compliant with the IEC 61511 standard.

Personal Development

Two classroom or remote training days
Providing 1.6 CEU (Continuing Education Units) or 16 PDH (Professional Development Hours)

Course Overview 

This course is designed to provide participants with the tools necessary to perform SIL Validation studies compliant with the IEC 61511 standard.

The course instructor uses real life examples to demonstrate how to conceptually design multiple Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) to meet the specified safety integrity levels.

Note: The SIL Verification course maybe be taking in conjunction with the LOPA/SIL Determination course to gain a more thorough understanding of the Safety Lifecycle process.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  • The fundamentals of safety instrumented systems (SIS) using the IEC 61511 standard.
  • Learn how the key elements such as safety requirements specification impact the engineering of SIS.
  • The fundamentals of Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) to meet the specified safety integrity levels.

Course Benefits

  • Using case studies and real examples participants will be able to apply the IEC standard 61511 that supports the development of SIS.
  • Enable participants to demonstrate how to conceptually design Safety Instrumented Functions.
  • A comprehensive workbook and reference guide will be supplied.

Prerequisites or Related Courses

Prerequisites for this course are that participants have some understanding of critical protection systems.

Participants are REQUIRED to have completed the LOPA/SIL Determination course as well.

Who Should Attend

This course teaches Functional Safety Engineering fundamentals to engineers and technologists responsible for designing Safety Instrumented Systems, including:

  • I&C Team Leaders, engineers and technologists
  • High Integrity and Critical Control System specialists
  • Supervisors, managers and engineers responsible for ensuring that SIS have been designed to appropriately mitigate the level of risk specified
  • Engineers involved in any aspect of the SIS Safety Lifecycle
