Recorded Webinars: High-Level Risk Assessments using exSILentia Cyber
This webinar will demonstrate how exSILentia cyber supports the completion of high-level risk assessments consistent with the methodology described in part one of the Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and Security Level Verification series. This webinar will provide a brief description of the method and then focus on how the exSILentia cyber tool can be used to effectively complete and document high-level risk assessments in a consistent manner considering the example chemical plant. The main track of the Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and Security Level Verification series will continue later this month with Part Two - Detailed Risk Assessments

Blog Entry: Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment of Collaborative Robotic Systems
The world of collaborative robots, or cobots, is making headway. According to a recent report by the International Federation of Robots (IFR), along with Loup Ventures, global robotics spending will reach $13 billion in 2025. Currently, collaborative robots only make up about 3% of all robot sales. This number is…
Recorded Webinars: How to Effectively Use Certified Equipment in Fire and Gas Systems (Part 3: Gas Detection)
Certifying detectors is an important step in achieving and reassuring safety for Fire and Gas Systems (FGS). How these products are used in a system is just as important.
As discussed in Part One, Fire and Gas (F&G) Mapping has become a critical step in reviewing F&G coverage with respect to adequacy, and what yardstick can be used in determining suitability of the system. Part Two focused in on the aspects most critical in certification and mapping of flame detection.
This webinar will complete the loop by looking at Gas Detection. The webinar will discuss issues surrounding certifying a Gas Detector and will also investigate the typical processes of a Gas Detection Mapping exercise, and discuss the benefits of a consistent approach to Gas Detection Design throughout the lifecycle of a facility.
Blog Entry: The New Technology in Logic Solvers
I heard about a “safety certified” PLC in the late 1980s at an ISA SP84 standard committee meeting. The “logic solver” (as they later called it) was the focus of attention in the field of functional safety back then. Many engineers even said, “My system is safe because I used…
