Received a note from my old friend and former colleague at Control Engineering, Dave Harrold, about a course offering he recommends. Sis-Tech has an upcoming certified training course on Safety Instrumented Systems.
Here's a course outline:
Process, process automation, and instrumentation and electrical specialists
will learn how to achieve and maintain the core attributes of safe and
reliable safety instrumented systems.
The 14 module series is divided into four topic areas designed to provide
students with a comprehensive view of the design and management of safety
instrumented systems.
Modules 1-3 -- Getting Started, provides an overview of the SIS standards,
the protective management system, and the grandfather clause.
Modules 4-6 [radical] Hazard and Risk Analysis, covers the hazard and risk
assessment process, including establishing risk criteria, understanding the
protection layers, and an introduction to layer of protection analysis.
Modules 7-10 -- Design and Implementation, addresses the engineering process
from the process requirements specification, safety requirements
specification, selection of devices, and software applications.
Modules 11-14 -- Metrics and the Operating Basis, introduces failure rate
data and verification theory, provides an example of the verification
calculation, and covers the long-term operation and maintenance issues
related to choices made during design and verification.
Each session begins at 11:00AM CDT.
Students may signup to attend individual modules ($75 per module) or the
entire series ($775).
Students who complete the 14 module series and pass the required tests will
receive the distinction of being PRISM Certified.
