Recorded Webinars: Introducing the SILStat Field Data Collection Program
SILStat™ is exida’s Life Event Recorder tool. It allows you to capture key operational and maintenance data (such as equipment failures, process demands, success or failure of protection layers, proof test results, etc.,) for review and analysis as required by the IEC 61511 / ISA 84.00.01-2004 standards and as part of compliance with an OSHA PSM Mechanical Integrity Program.
This webinar will provide an overview of the SILStat software and review its capabilities and data analysis concepts.
Blog Entry: Random vs. Systematic?
Most of you know that exida gathers field failure data from many sources including manufacturers’ warranty return data and end user maintenance/failure records. At this point we have nearly 100 billion unit operating hours of data. This is probably the largest process industry data set in the world. And we…

Recorded Webinars: SIL Verification Using exSILentia
The exSILentia® safety lifecycle tool incorporates SILver™, a SIL verification tool. The SILver tool has an extensive Markov Model based calculation engine and incorporates the exida Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook (SERH). This webinar will provide an overview of the SILver tool, the three SIL levels that are determined as part of SIL verification, and the various parameters involved.
News Item: EXIDA CERTIFIES KOSO AMERICA, INC’S REXA XPAC FOR FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
exida, the global leader in functional safety certification for the process industries, has certified KOSO America, Inc.’s REXA Xpac for functional safety , to help ensure that it meets the functional safety requirements for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 capability per IEC 61508: 2010. “KOSO’s capabilities were confirmed through an…
Blog Entry: Still Using Excel to do PFD Calculations?
It’s very interesting to me to find that people are still using excel to do PFD calculations. Whereas this is probably okay for simple single element architectures (i.e. single sensor, single logic solver and single final element), it becomes extremely complicated when dealing with redundant architectures. Moreover, for performing SIL…
Recorded Webinars: Introduction to Process Hazard Analysis using HAZOP
This webinar covers the HAZOP methodology in the context of the overall process safety management lifecycle. It first provides a high level overview of the process hazards analysis (PHA) work process, detailing process safety management (PSM) expectations for the PHA. Process safety information is covered, explaining how it is needed in order to conduct the review and management of change (MOC) is shown in the overall PHA work process to illustrate the relationship between PHA and MOC. With the foundation set, details of the HAZOP methodology, including report documentation are presented.

Recorded Webinars: Field Failure Data Analysis Methods
Operational data collected from process automation systems can be analyzed to accomplish many goals including improved safety, and minimized down time. However, data collection methods can vary substantially. This can impact the results by an order of magnitude. This web seminar describes the exida “Predictive Analytics” analysis method which uses benchmark limits to detect and correct problems in data collection methods. The exida Predictive Analytic benchmark limits are based on nearly 100 billion unit operating hours of field data from the process industries. Examples are shown where potentially misleading data analysis results were detected and corrected preventing potentially dangerous changes to safety equipment design.

Recorded Webinars: Field Failure Data Collection Methods
Operational data is collected for many processes in order to identify problems, improve production, and improve safety. To achieve the maximum benefits, it is important to understand what data should be collected. This web seminar describes important data items that should be recorded in process automation system operation. Data collection standards are described, as well as a data collection system. This web seminar is targeted toward maintenance engineers, control system designers, safety system designers, and process automation management.
News Item: What are safety engineering ethics? Article in Hydrocarbon Processing
The article What are safety engineering ethics? by exida’s principal partner Dr. William Goble was featured in the March edition of Hydrocarbon Processing. In many professional engineer (PE) programs, continuing education is required. In some US states, this education includes specific requirements for engineering ethics training. The author recently attended…

Recorded Webinars: Introduction to LOPA: Layer of Protection Analysis
This webinar covers an overview of the key facets of performing layer of protection analysis (LOPA). It provides an understanding of the terminology, explains the transition from HAZOP to LOPA and lays the foundation for the basic probability math used by the methodology. Topics such as corporate risk criteria, human error, and common mode failure are addressed as they relate to LOPA.

Recorded Webinars: Practical and Robust Implementation of the IEC Functional Safety Standards
The release and adoption of IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 has created new requirements for all organizations involved with equipment used in safety related systems. As these functional safety standards are applied more broadly across industry and referenced more frequently as examples of best practice by industry and product standards the importance of meeting them is increasing. The requirements of the standards are new to many end users, EPCs, and manufacturers of valve, actuator, and other devices used in the final element which can result in effort invested in areas that do not guarantee compliance or increased safety reliability.
This webinar will:
· Review the functional safety standards along with the steps necessary to meet them
· Examine IEC 61508, including the Safety Lifecycle, key documentation necessary, and information that is supplied to end users
· Review IEC 61511 to examine the impact of the information supplied by manufacturers
· Provide examples from both the manufacturer and end user viewpoint to illustrate common pitfalls as well as best practices
