Recorded Webinars: Voting Configuration Decision Factors
Determining the optimal voting configuration for a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) can be confusing. This webinar will identify some reasons why the SIF voting is not the same as the logic configuration. We will also consider some common sensor and final element configurations and evaluate the impact of voting decisions on the PFDavg and MTTFS. Finally, some tips will be provided to help the end user define the voting for more complex arrangements.

Recorded Webinars: IEC61508 and IEC62443 – Molding Certification around YOU
(not the other way around) With the rapid growth of IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and IEC 62443 Cybersecurity (SL) Certifications, many companies are now learning to understand what is the process and what would their involvement be. Some don’t realize it, but manufacturers and integrators (solution providers) have MANY different options when obtaining their certifications. To people’s surprise, certification is actually molded around the manufacturer and/or integrator. Those options will fluctuate how much time certification will take, how much will it cost, and how many man hours will be consumed to achieve certification.
Recorded Webinars: Functional Safety Management Requirements for Engineering Cos. and Integrators
The IEC61511 standard requires that Engineering Companies and Integrators of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) need to prove that they have a Functional Safety Management System (FSMS) in place that is being followed. As such, companies providing these services who do not currently have an FSMS in place, theoretically, should not be performing Safety Lifecycle tasks associated with SIS design and/or engineering. This requirement was introduced into the 2016 edition of IEC61511 and it is now four years since this new edition was introduced. Companies offering services that pertain to safety, such as SIS design,should be looking at setting up a FSMS. How else will you be able to meet the customer’s requirement if it states IEC61511 compliance is required for the SIS.
What you will learn?
- What is required
- What that means to Engineering Cos. And integrators
- How to get started with FSMS
- What is required for an FSMS
- The benefits of compliance
Who should attend?
- SIS designers and Engineering contractors
- Managers and decision makers
Blog Entry: Know Your Human Error (Part II)
“…there is a belief amongst many engineers and managers that human error is both inevitable and unpredictable. However, human error is inevitable only if people are placed in situations that emphasize human weaknesses and that do not support human strengths” Martin Anderson, IChemE Safety and Loss Prevention Subject Group Newsletter,…

Recorded Webinars: Back To Basics – Getting to Know λ (Failure Rates)
Once again, we’ll go back to basics and run down everything you need to know to get started in functional safety. This webinar will focus on failure rates (λ)!
We will look at:
- What a failure rate is – λ
- How to find one
- What to do when you have one
- What’s a FIT?
- The different kinds (λS, λ SU, λ SD, λD, λDU, λDD)
- And finally, Why they matter
Blog Entry: Functional Safety Management Systems & Engineering Companies
In recent discussions with several engineering and integrators of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), it’s become very clear to me that the majority I have spoken to, don’t have any form of Functional Safety Management System 〈FSMS〉 in place. This is interesting because one of the changes in the 2016 edition…

Recorded Webinars: Cybersecurity Monitoring and Metrics - “You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure” Continuously?
Cybersecurity monitoring and metrics are keys to measuring cybersecurity performance, improving the ability to respond when incidents occur, and improving cybersecurity maturity. What metrics does your organization use to measure cybersecurity performance? Do you have monitoring in place today to identify security excursions? In this webinar we will break down how leading and lagging indicators can be used to improve cybersecurity monitoring as well as how improved continuous monitoring capabilities are becoming a critical part of the automation cybersecurity lifecycle. This non-vendor specific webinar will provide general guidelines and criteria that can be used for establishing an effective continuous monitoring capability for any system.
Blog Entry: OLD component data = Bad FMEDAs
When we first invented the FMEDA technique in the late 1980s the biggest problem was the component failure rate and failure mode data. Still is. I picked up a well-known standard for component failure rates and saw a date of 2010. The technology world has gone through an order of…
