Professional Certificate of Competency in Safety Instrumentation Systems for Process Industries Engineering Institute of Technology

Overview

The Professional Certificate of Competency in Safety Instrumentation Systems for Process Industries  from the Engineering Institute of Technology will explain the key requirements of the IEC 61511 standard for all stages of the safety project from hazard and risk assessment studies through to hardware and software engineering and on to the maintenance and proof testing regimes. We will also go over methods for avoiding spurious trips.

You will learn about the meaning and implications of Safety Integrity Levels (SILs), how SIL targets are determined, the role of alarms in safety-critical applications, and the key features of safety-certified PLCs.

Other topics covered include calculating failure probabilities for single and redundant Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) designs, selecting instruments and controllers suitable for safety systems, managing the application software project for your safety system, and optimizing proof testing intervals.

Practical examples and discussions will assist you in developing your skills in this crucial aspect of instrument engineering.
