Webinar Series: Safe Automation in the Process Industry

Episode 3: Did Inherently Safer Automation Design Make Us Safe?

Once we have completed the design of the process and its industrial automation system, identifying protection layers is crucial for ensuring that the process risk is managed to a tolerable level. Do you know how protection layers are identified and how a plant determines how many protection layers will be enough?

In the third Episode of our “Safe Automation in the Process Industry” webinar series, we will discuss why we use the term “inherently safer” instead of “inherently safe” and introduce the fundamentals of process safety hazards and risk analysis.

Correctly identifying the instrumented protective systems (IPS) needed for a facility is an indispensable step in the execution of functional safety. However, instrumented systems must also be carefully specified and designed if they are to succeed in achieving the safety performance assumed in H&RA studies.

In the sixth episode of the “Safe Automation in the Process Industry” webinar series, we will

  • summarize the content of a high-quality specification for both LI-PL and SIS,
  • review additional design constraints that apply to SIS, and
  • discuss designing the LI-PL and SIS to make them more operable, maintainable, and easier to include in monitoring programs.
