In this webinar, Dr. Steve Gandy discusses how adopting an integrated life cycle approach to risk and process safety can enhance your operational performance. Process safety focuses on minimizing the likelihood of hazardous releases, such as hydrocarbon leaks that may result in fires or explosions, as well as toxic emissions. The equipment utilized to mitigate these risks, particularly control systems and safety instrumented systems, plays a crucial role. It is essential that safety instrumented systems are designed, installed, and maintained effectively to minimize the potential for serious accidents. Additionally, the selection and implementation of control equipment must be conducted with care, highlighting the importance of functional safety, which specifically pertains to the equipment under control, especially the safety instrumented systems.
