Blog Entry: Stress vs. Strength… In My Process?
I consistently find that with companies who are new to functional safety development, the SW process is not as structured or mature as the HW process. SW development is often more informal, and subject to the interpretation of one or more SW developers. But when project delays occur, it’s usually…
Recorded Webinars: Gas Detection and Safety Instrumented Systems

Recorded Webinars: Commissioning Barrier Devices
This webinar will focus on activities performed after the Cybersecurity Vulnerability Assessment is complete and the recommendations to segment your network have been made. We will review multiple manufacturers product offerings, evaluate selection criteria, and delve into the actual process taken to isolate critical devices from the general control network. Actual network traffic screen shots will be used to demonstrate the steps that will be required to identify and isolate the devices from unwanted traffic while allowing necessary traffic to pass to the devices.

Recorded Webinars: Going Green: Alarm Management for Greenfield Projects
Alarm Management was often neglected in the past until after installation and commissioning of the control system. This led to alarm overload, nuisance alarms, turning off of the alarm system, and some dangerous start-ups. It is no longer acceptable in today’s environment for many end users to start up without having applied alarm management best practices beforehand (e.g., EEMUA 191 and ISA-18.2). It is becoming increasingly common to perform alarm rationalization, a process for determining which alarms are valid / necessary and documenting their priority / limit / cause / consequence / corrective action, early in a project such as during FEED.
This webinar will present:
- A brief overview on the “state” of alarm management
- Discuss some of the challenges of applying alarm management to Greenfield projects when the process design (P&IDs), safety design (HAZOP, LOPA), and control system configuration are taking place in parallel
- Will highlight how to manage alarms when they are used as safeguards and layers of protection
