Safety in process industry

Process Safety Webinars

When planning, setting up, and operating safe process plants and machines, current directives and laws provide the framework to be observed. These standards reflect the minimum state of the art of technology that is to be adhered to. The IEC 61511 series of standards governs the application of the functional safety of systems in the process industry.

This is a series of two webinars covering the basics of functional safety in the process industry.

20th November: The basics of Functional Safety in the process industry part 1
Functional safety management & Risk assessment

27th November: The basics of Functional Safety in the process industry part 2
Design of safety loops & Proof of safety integrity
