Safety Instrumented Systems Verification – Practical Probabilistic Calculations  This book clearly explains how to do probabilistic calculations to accomplish SIL verification for safety systems. Starting with a description of the safety lifecycle, the authors show where and how SIL verification fits into the key activities from conceptual design through commissioning. The book not only explains the theory and methods for doing the calculations, the authors also provide many examples from the chemical, petrochemical, power, and oil & gas industries. Through numerous examples, the authors make the material understandable, plus the data tables give readers important information needed to do the verification calculations. The authors provide example failure rate data and other important metrics needed for probabilistic calculations. Appendices cover probability, failure modes, diagnostic analysis, fault tree analysis, Markov Models, and system architectures. (William M. Goble and Harry Cheddie, 2005, Soft Cover, 392 pg., published by ISA

Safety Integrity Levels
Book authored by exida partners Edward Marszal & Eric Scharpf. The book describes a systematic method for selecting safety integrity levels for safety instrumented systems (SIS). Although numerous methods are being used in industry, the method presented, which includes layer of protection analysis, is rapidly becoming the most common. The reason for its popularity stems from its ease of use while providing accurate results. This method emphasizes accounting for existing layers of protection. By doing so, the SIS is not over-designed and over-priced. This method ensures that the maximum return on risk reduction investments is achieved. (Hardbound, 230 pg, Published by ISA June 2002)
