Functional Safety Training

Whether you are carrying out a process safety review, implementing safety audits or ensuring compliance with standards and regulations, DEKRA has the up-to-date training backed by resources and skills to complete this task.

The need for a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) rated trip and the requirements for that trip is a team decision and so this training course is for process engineers and others who can identify and evaluate the other layers of protection of whatever kind and identify any remaining gap. Therefore this training course is for process engineers, mechanical engineers and others at the forefront of that assessment and not just for the instrument engineers.

What our delegates say:

"Lots to cover but well-paced throughout. All expected content covered."
"Very good and clear, trainers knowledge and ability to create clear understandable examples was the making of the course."

Open Course Dates

Functional Safety Management & SIL Assessment

An introduction to IEC 61508/11 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) principles for establishing the performance, specification and reliability of Safety Instrumented System.

This course is suitable for anyone who would benefit from a broad understanding of this important safety related area and will cover the background of IEC61508/11 SIL development and its management requirements. The presentation will go on to explain SIL determination techniques such as Risk Graph & Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), which are common methods within the process industries. Workshops will reinforce the learning of these techniques.

Maintaining a SIL Rated System from Commissioning Onwards

This course is for maintenance engineers who are required to maintain a SIL-rated safety instrumented system (“SIF”) and can be asked to be involved in installation and commissioning.

It covers the legal requirements for commissioning and maintenance of SIL-rated systems protecting any dangerous substance. Thus the maintenance engineer discovers what needs to be included and covered at installation, commissioning and during maintenance of the SIF. During the life of the SIF the course looks at replacement and repair activities that occur. The course also covers the relevant aspects of the management of changes as well as full and partial proof testing. The result is that anyone involved in maintenance of a SIL rated safety instrument understands what they need, what they can find, and what is required of them.
