SUMMARY:EC50 – Safety Instrumented Systems: A Lifecycle Approach
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview \nSafety Instrumented Systems: A Lifecycle Approach (EC50) focuses on the engineering requirements for the specification\, design\, analysis\, verification\, and justification of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) used in the process industries. \nParticipants learn how to determine Safety Integrity Levels (SILs)\, apply Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)\, and evaluate whether proposed or existing systems meet the performance and documentation requirements defined in ISA/IEC 61511 (ISA-84). \nCourse Details \nCourse #: EC50 \nDates: June 15–19 \nLength: 4.5 days \nHours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET \nCEUs: 3.2 \nCertificate: Certificate of completion provided \nExam: One exam included with registration \nCertificate Program \nEC50 is required for the ISA/IEC 61511 Safety Instrumented Systems Fundamentals Specialist Certificate. \nSuccessful completion of the course and exam earns the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Fundamentals Specialist designation. \nWho Should Take EC50 \n– Automation and control engineers \n– Safety and SIS engineers \n– Process engineers \n– Plant managers \n– Plant safety and risk management professionals \nLearning Objectives \n– Define Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) \n– Understand the SIS lifecycle and functional safety management \n– Identify applicable ANSI/ISA\, IEC\, and AIChE standards \n– Determine Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) \n– Conduct Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) \n– Apply Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) \n– Develop Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS) \n– Perform SIL verification and understand redundancy impacts \n– Understand FAT\, commissioning\, validation\, and MOC requirements \nTopics Covered \n– Background of functional safety and major process incidents \n– SIS lifecycle and management issues \n– Hazard and risk assessment techniques \n– SIL selection methods \n– LOPA methodology and cybersecurity considerations \n– Reliability modeling and fault tolerance \n– Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) \n– Logic solver technologies (relay\, pneumatic\, microprocessor) \n– Field devices and certification \n– Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)\, commissioning\, validation \n– Operations\, maintenance\, and management of change (MOC) \nImportant Notes \nA hand-held or scientific calculator should be brought to class. \nResources Included \nOnline access to the ISA/IEC 61511 series of standards for the duration of the course \nSafety Instrumented Systems: A Life Cycle Approach by Paul Gruhn and Simon Lucchini (Digital version)
