Aimed at
Students, technicians, designers, system integrators and engineers who want to learn about Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in the process industry.
The objective is to acquire the necessary knowledge to start working in Functional Safety. If you already have knowledge, the course will help you better understand the concepts and give you a real insight into the importance of the different phases of the life cycle.
Documentation for the student
- PDF files with the contents.
- Excel Templates (HAZOP, LOPA, example of SRS).
- Example of SIL Verification Report (MS-Word + Annexe)
- Possibility of downloading some videos.
- Certificate.
