Course Description

The international and US standards for Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs), IEC 61511 and ISA 84, require that Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) be determined for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) to meet tolerable risk criteria. The standards identify several methods that can be used for this purpose including Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), risk graphs and risk matrices. This course explains how these methods can be used. A detailed procedure is provided for using LOPA for SIL determination. Course attendees participate in workshops to practice SIL determination.

Objective

Be able to determine required SILs for SIFs using LOPA, risk graphs and risk matrices.

Target Audience

Facility personnel who are involved in implementing standards for safety instrumented systems.

Prerequisites

Experience with LOPA is required. Attendance at Primatech's training course, Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) for Process Safety Management (PSM), meets this requirement.
