Overview of Safety Instrumented Systems
- Share to:
This IDC training workshop has been developed to provide a broad introduction to the methods and concepts of applying safety instrumented system to processing plants. The range of process industries that are likely to use this type of safety instrumentation as broad as the range of process control system applications. The only thing they may have in common is that they have potentially hazardous materials or processes or they may have large sources of stored energy that could be harmful if something goes wrong.Safety instrumentation is not exclusively an instrument and control engineering subject. The successful implementation of a safety system project depends on the support and knowledge of other disciplines as well as being dependent on a full commitment from company management structures. It requires the environment of a well defined safety management system within the company. Without proper support structures and a good understanding by all involved in defining safety requirements the safety instrumentation on its own will be unlikely to deliver the levels of safety that are expected of it.
IDC’s past experience with training in this field has indicated there is a need for process engineers and technical managers to be conversant with the basics of functional safety systems as they are broadly described in the new standards. The support structures are a crucial part of the assessment scope for compliance with the new IEC 61508 and 61511 standards. This workshop therefore provides a mix of training in the technical issues of safety instrumentation with training in the project engineering and support activities that are essential for success. It is the responsibility of the instrument engineer to involve colleagues from other disciplines in the safety package. It is the responsibility of managements to see that the safety activities are clearly assigned and supported.
The idea of this first training chapter is to provide a substantial overview of the basic issues affecting a safety instrumentation project. It is intended that this chapter can be used as a half day briefing package for any managers and engineers in a company who may wish to learn some more about the subject but do not requires to have deeper knowledge of the technical issues.
