SIS & ESD (IEC 61511, 61508) Training - Intro to SIS (PowerPoint PPT)

The full course on Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Emergency Shutdown (ESD), in accordance with the IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 standards and boiler/gas turbine control safety instrumented systems, consists of 19 training modules. This document refers to the 2nd training module only, Introduction to Safety Instrumented Systems. Specific topics covered include:

•  Ensuring Safety
•  Layers of Safety
•  Factors Affecting Safety
•  Anatomy of a Disaster
•  Disaster Prevention

Upon the successful completion of the full SIS/ESD course (all 19 modules), you will be able to:

•  Apply a comprehensive knowledge in safety instrumented systems (SIS) and emergency shutdown in accordance with the IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 standards and boiler/gas turbine control safety instrumented systems
•  Differentiate safety instrumented systems, control system, and ESD system
•  Review the concepts and requirements of IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 standards
•  Determine the safety integrity level (SIL), as well as recognize technology choices and reliability analysis
•  Perform proper initial system evaluation and discuss the issues related to field devices
•  Explain safety systems engineering and carryout system installation covering factor acceptance testing, validation, site acceptance tests, functional safety assessment, pre-start-up safety review, handover to operations, start-up, and post start-up activities
•  Recognize the need for functional testing and define hazards and risks
•  Illustrate SIS design for gas turbines, gas compressors, and gas stations, as well as SIS design for waste heat boilers
