TRANSCRIPT
A practical training 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 proposed or existing safety instrumented
function.
A two day training course
8th - 9th October 2014 - Leeds, Marriott Hotel

Achieved SIL
ABB Consulting Events
Achieved Safety Integrity Level
Process Industries rely upon the performance of
Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) to protect
and maintain operating assets. Engineers
and designers are required to calculate the
probability of failure of these SIFs to be able to
express this performance as a Safety Integrity
Level (SIL).
ABB Consult ing 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 proposed 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 progress through more
complicated designs and techniques that are
required for higher Safety Integrity Levels.
Who will beneft and what will they gain?
The course is a imed 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 wil l be able to:
− Understand the concepts underpinning SIL
calculation
− Identify what information is essential before
starting the SIL calculation
− Apply correct formulae for serial or parallel
instrument configurations
− Derive instrument failure rates from commonly
available sources
− The benefi ts and disadvantages of
manufacturers certificates
− Appreciate the complexit ies of a ‘human in the
loop’
− What checking and approval is needed for
different Safety Integrity Levels
− Calculate the SIL
Duration: 2 days

− Reminder of hazard identification and SIL determination
Safety requirement specification
− Information to be specified to design group or external company
Designing a Safety Instrumented Function
− Safe and dangerous failures
− The relationship between instrumentation and SIL
− Use of basic calculations
− Humans and alarms as part of Safety Instrumented Functions
