Introduction
In the process control industry, safeguarding is an important priority, especially when it comes to the installation of safety equipment and systems. Even so, advances in technology (including, but not limited to aspects such as specialized Fieldbus) suggest that plants take a fresh look at their safety systems and have become the driving force for the renewed approach of safeguarding a process control system.
This workshop covers the fundamentals of safety, and the major approaches for assuring system safety for process control, including an integrated and separate systems, Fieldbus solutions, intrinsic safety, functional safety, process control design solutions, SIS, safety alarms and various international standards.
This is EXACTLY the same as the highly successful face-to-face course presented over many years by GLOMACS, but with the added benefit of doing it on-line, at a venue convenient to you.
This GLOMACS online training course will highlight:
- How traditional Fieldbus is inadequate for safety-related controls
- Existing safety systems that are ready to be used
- The current approach to a safe communication bus
- Checks and balances to meet safety requirements and protection
- How to share infrastructure between the safety bus and conventional communication channels, and
- All aspects of process control, where it is affected by safeguarding
Objectives
At the end of this online training course, you will learn to:
- Provide an overview of safety systems related to process control systems
- Discuss intrinsic and functional safety solutions
- Understand Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) and techniques
- Consider the appropriate Fieldbus choices that are available
- Implement safe design and risk management, and consider safety approvals
Training Methodology
This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice.
Organisational Impact
The organizational impact would be seen over a wide spectrum of important areas, and as this subject matter is intertwined with crucial plant safety, will play a leading role in plant safety. Amongst other things, the organizational impact would include:
- Having people with comprehensive knowledge on process control, instrumentation and fieldbus, when it comes to safeguarding applications
- Having critical staff fully understand and implement concepts such as reliability, availability, safety and security
- The ability to implement numerous options of safety systems (whether they be integrated or separate)
- Having staff that can adequately address the matter of Functional Safety, and
- Having staff that can make valuable input pertaining to Operator intervention, emergency safety and safety approvals
Personal Impact
Participants will gain knowledge and learn to apply themselves, fully, in matters pertaining to process control and safeguarding. Such skills and knowledge should result in better career prospects within the organization, and will play a meaningful role in their abilities to be leaders in their field of expertise. Personal impact would include:
- Building up their levels of confidence in process control and safeguarding
- Communicating effectively with their peers, about the subject matter
- Understanding and enhancing their subject knowledge about safeguarding principles, solutions, security, etc.
- Having the ability to make a positive contribution in group discussions and company safety strategy
- Priming themselves to eventually become an expert in such control and safeguarding matters
- Having the ability to show their organization that they are, indeed, a valuable team member, and that they can be further developed for senior roles, where necessary
