What happens after a Functional Safety Assessment Stage 3

The FSA3 may be the last functional safety activity before handing the plant over to operations and disbanding the project team. But that is not the end of the functional safety lifecycle. There are many activities that follow handover that operations need to take responsibility for, and they may need the support of the project team to complete these tasks. This session will review these activities and discuss how best to plan and execute them to ensure ongoing compliance with the functional safety lifecycle.

PFD Calculation - The basics

Determining the expected average failure rate of each Safety Instrumented Function is a task that many engineers worry about. “Carrying out the PFDavg calculations” is viewed as a complex task that should be approached with caution. While it is true that the equations presented in IEC 61508 can be daunting, at the heart of the reliability calculations are some simple, fundamental principles that are easily explained and understood. This session will focus on identifying those fundamental principles and looking at simpler equations that can be used to estimate Probability of Failure on Demand.

What to ask your Design Contractor and your Systems Integrator

Choosing Design Contractors and Systems Integrator are key decisions on projects. IEC 61511 has some clear requirements that must be met in order for the project to be compliant and for their selection to be considered the actions of “an intelligent customer”. These essential points will be reviewed, but we’ll also look at simple additions to the wording of contracts that can avoid subsequent problems in project compliance and delivery.
