PetroRisk has created this two day course for engineers or designers who require more detailed training in the concepts and principles that underpin the IEC 61511 functional safety standard and its use for calculating the Safety Integrity Level of a new or existing safety instrumented function.

What the course will cover

The training course is structured around instruction and workshops that initially explain the underlying concepts of SIL calculation demonstrated on simple Safety Instrumented Functions, then progresses through more complicated designs and techniques that are required to achieve higher Safety Integrity Levels.

Who will benefit and what will they gain?

The course is aimed at engineers and designers involved in calculating or verifying the performance of new or existing safety instrumented functions. The course has plenty of workshops to enable delegates to practice using the formulae on ever increasing complex examples.

Following the course you will be able to:

  • Understand the concepts underpinning SIL calculation
  • Identify what information is essential before starting the SIL calculation
  • Apply correct formula for serial or parallel instrument configurations
  • Derive instrument failure rates from commonly available sources
  • The benefits and disadvantages of manufacturers certificates
  • Appreciate the complexities of a ‘human in the loop’
  • What checking and approval is needed for different Safety Integrity Levels
  • Calculate the SIL
