Cybersecurity has become a significant and credible threat to process safety. The consequences of cyber-attacks are well understood for business networks (e.g. data theft, ransomware, denial of service), but for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) there is the potential for even more severe consequences because IACS control physical systems in the real world. Case studies will be used to demonstrate how cyber-attacks on IACS can cause damage to equipment, the environment, and safety. This webinar will examine how cybersecurity is impacting process safety, considering the impact of cybersecurity events on traditional strategies for safeguarding and risk assessment, and will also introduce key steps for managing cybersecurity risk.
The selection of Mission Time, Proof Test Interval and Proof Test Coverage is very important when it comes to the PFDavg achieved by Low Demand SIFs. Oftentimes, people don’t realise the impact Mission Time can have on the PFDavg, especially when considering “Imperfect” Proof Testing. This is why it’s so important to utilize realistic Proof Test Coverage when considering the SIF. There is no such thing as “Perfect” Proof Testing, which indicates being able to find and fix all dangerous failures. These variables must be based upon End User practices and not just arbitrarily set by the SIS designers.
The purpose of this webinar is to illustrate the relationship between these variables and the impact they can have on the overall SIF PFDavg, utilizing a simple example.

Oftentimes when this comes up during class it’s clear that there’s a misunderstanding as to how these three variables can impact the PFDavg calculations. Mission Time is defined as the period of time over which a set of Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) equipment is expected to operate without major overhaul…

Do you really understand the difference between “process safety” and “functional safety”? This webinar will clear up the confusion as it applies to high-risk industrial environments such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation. We'll start by exploring the key standards and guidelines that govern each discipline.
We'll then dive into a detailed comparison, reviewing the similarities and crucial differences between these two safety methodologies. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of how organizations can effectively integrate both process and functional safety strategies to manage hazards, prevent incidents like fires, explosions, and toxic releases, and ultimately create a more robust safety culture. Join us to learn how to correctly identify and apply these distinct but complementary disciplines for a safer operational environment.
This whitepaper tackles a major challenge in safety product design: the task of performing a detailed Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis ( FMEDA ) on products with a vast number of components. It demonstrates a practical solution by applying the Pareto principle (the 80/20 rule), which allows designers to…
