Recorded Webinars: What Does Root Cause Analysis Mean?
This webinar addresses the value and importance of investigating Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) failures to root cause. Many companies do not understand why this is important because of either a lack of understanding, manpower issues and/or time pressure to restore the SIS.
The webinar emphasizes the fact that IEC61511 requires SIS failures to be investigated, therefore, we need to understand how the SIS has failed. For example, did it fail-safe, fail dangerously, was it a random failure or a systematic failure? Many times, SIS failures are either dismissed as being systematic or simply having the faulty equipment replaced without fully understanding why it failed and how. It should also be remembered that the probabilistic calculations performed on Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) are based upon random failures. If failures are not properly classified, then this will lead to lower random failures, which in turn can lead to very low and dangerously optimistic estimates on PFDavg or PFH. Consequently, this leads to overstating the risk reduction being provided by the SIF.
What you will learn?
- What are the key benefits
- The difference between random and systematic failures
- The need to identify whether failures are safe or dangerous
- Properly classifying failures and how to improve performance
Who should attend?
- Maintenance personnel
- Plant Managers and Supervisors

White Paper: exida’s Surveillance Audit Process, Validity, and Value
This paper describes exida’s surveillance audit process, how long it’s valid for, and the benefits it brings to both manufacturers and end users. Manufacturers make design changes on all products either due to parts becoming obsolete, cost savings innovations, etc. exida performs surveillance audits to check if products are still…
Blog Entry: What Does Root Cause Analysis Really Mean?
This is an intriguing question. One that I often ask my classes when I’m teaching our FSE100 Functional Safety course. Very often, they do not know or do not fully understand what this means and why it is important. The IEC61511 standard requires that any failures that occur within the…
