IEC 61511 lifecycle | SIL determination & LOPA | SRS, SIF design & SIL verification (PFDavg)
What you'll learn
⚡ Explain functional safety and the IEC 61511 safety lifecycle from hazard study to decommissioning
⚡ Carry out hazard and risk assessment as the input to SIL determination
⚡ Determine SIL using LOPA — initiating events, independent protection layers and the risk gap
⚡ Write a safety requirement specification that bridges the hazard study and the SIS design
⚡ Design a safety instrumented function — sensors, logic solver and final elements
⚡ Select voting architectures (1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo2, 2oo3) balancing safety and spurious trips
⚡ Verify a SIF by calculating PFDavg against the target SIL and architectural constraints
⚡ Apply safe failure fraction and hardware fault tolerance to architecture selection
⚡ Plan proof testing intervals and procedures to maintain the achieved SIL
⚡ Manage bypasses and overrides on a safety instrumented system safely
⚡ Scope a functional safety assessment across the lifecycle phases
⚡ Take a hazard through to a verified safety instrumented function as a section project
Requirements
❗ A background in C&I, control, automation, process or safety engineering is assumed
❗ Familiarity with P&IDs, control loops and basic process plant equipment
❗ This is a practitioner-level course, not a first introduction to process safety
❗ No specific SIL verification software is required to follow the material
❗ A willingness to work through a LOPA and a PFDavg calculation by hand
