Electrical Hazard, Risks and Emergency Shutdown Systems Course
Course Overview:
This course equips participants with an in-depth knowledge of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) as well as the integration of international standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
The design of Safety Life Cycle models, hazard analysis, business risk analysis and also Senior Integrity Level(sil) assessment techniques is covered.
The participants will be familiarized with the specifications of emergency shutdown systems, sensors, programmable logic controllers and valves, Management of Change (MOC) processes related to SIS versions and upgrades.
Targeted to engineers, technicians and managers in design, instrumentation, process control, and operations, this course applies simulations and practices to enhance safety and reliability of industrial systems.
Course Objectives:
Upon the successful completion of the workshop, each participant will be able to:-
- Understand the requirements of the international standards IEC 61598 and IEC 61511
- Apply the IEC 61508 Safety Instrumented System Development ‘Safety Life Cycle’ model
- Determine the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) using risk assessment methods
- Understand the specifications of emergency shutdown protection requirements
- Establish specification requirements for the sensor, programmable logic controller and valves
- Follow Management of Change (MOC) procedures for control of future SIS changes
