THE WORKSHOP
Many of todays computer controlled industrial processes involve large amounts of energy and have the potential for devastating accidents. Reliable, well engineered safety systems are essential for protection against destruction and loss of life. The Safety Instrumentation & Shut-Down Systems workshop is an intensive, practical and valuable two-day course. We offer you the most vital, up-todate information and practical know-how to enable you to participate in hazard studies and specify, design, install and operate the safety and emergency shut-down systems in your plant using international safety practices. This workshop will provide you with a broad understanding of the latest safety instrumentation practices and their applications to functional safety in manufacturing and process industries. This workshop is "not-to-be-missed" - it could save your business a fortune in possible downtime and financial loss!

THE PROGRAM
DAY ONE
OBJECTIVES & INTRODUCTION TO SAFETY INSTRUMENTATION
Course outline & objectives Introduction to hazards, risks & functional safety Overview of safety systems engineering Introduction to Standards: IEC 61508 & ISA S84 The safety lifecycle model & its phases (IEC Phases) Implications of IEC 61508 for companies Issues of functional safety assessment & conformity

DAY TWO
SAFETY IN FIELD INSTRUMENTS & DEVICES
Impact of field devices on safety integrity How to specify & arrange sensors for safety duties Safety transmitters & Smart transmitters in safety applications Guidelines for final elements Installation aspects of emergency shutdown valves

ENGINEERING THE SAFETY SYSTEM: HARDWARE (IEC PHASE 9)

Practical design features for safety systems A review of the ISA S84.01 standard requirements for SIS design Interfaces to operators Interfaces to DCS and PLC based control systems: integration versus independence Practical Exercise in detail engineering

HAZARD & RISK REDUCTION

Identification of hazards, typical sources & examples Principles of risk reduction & layers of protection Process control versus safety control Examples of simple & complex shutdown systems The concept of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Practical Exercise: Risk reduction analysis

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
The workshop objectives are to: expand your practical knowledge in the application of safety instrumented systems as applied to industrial processes provide you with knowledge of the latest standards dealing with each stage of the safety lifecycle from the initial evaluation of hazards through to the detailed engineering and maintenance of safety instrumented systems give you the ability to plan hazard and risk assessment studies, then design, implement and maintain the safety systems to ensure high reliability assist your company to implement functional safety measures to international standards

INTRODUCTION TO HAZARD STUDIES (IEC PHASES 1, 2 &3)
