Design & Operation of a Safety Instrumented System (SIS)

SIS-EN-P

Who should attend?

  • Understand how a risk can be reduced by an instrumented safety barrier.
Public :
  • Engineers and technical staff involved in design of SIS.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Provide evidence of a basic knowledge in safety and instrumentation.

Course Content

  • SIS & SAFETY BARRIERS - Duration : 0.5 Day

      • Different safety instrumented systems: PSS, ESD, F&G, HIPS, ESP.
      • Links between the different SIS - Global architecture.
      • Control loop: basic knowledge; elements constituting a SIS.
  • SIS & INDUSTRIAL RISK CONTROL - Duration : 0.5 Day

      • Use of safety reviews (HAZOP & LOPA & HAZOP) to determine the need for a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF).
      • Concept of independent protective layers.
      • Use of a risk matrix to determine the level of SIL required for each RIS.
  • SIS SPECIFICATION - Duration : 1 Day

      • Role of functional analysis.
      • FIS allocation, cause and effect matrix, redundancy and common mode.
      • Typical design.
      • Simple SIL calculations. Analysis of supplier documentation.
      • SIL level and frequency of testing.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Determine the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of a simple system,
  • List the main elements of the IEC61511 standard in the context of the design of SIS to better justify its relevance of implementation.

Ways & Means

  • Step by step case study.
  • Study of SIS on mini processes test benches.

Learning assessment

  • Quiz.
