Next week's webinar: https://lnkd.in/eD3dfwvN The 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. #exida #webinar #functionalsafety #SIS #IEC #IEC61511 #PFDavg #SIF

I saw in a PLCopen newsletter, that there are plans for an IEC 61131-3 *4th* Edition by the end of the year. Does anyone have any hot tips or insights into this edition? Is there a way the curious can get their hands on a draft or preview? Tell your friends! Here's where I saw it first: https://lnkd.in/e47vgZqP

While I genuinely appreciate all the great feedback I receive during my webinars, I try to remind people that I'm not making it up as I go. This ain't exactly original content I'm teaching. The engineers who wrote the ANSI guidelines and developed product standards already did all the heavy lifting. I'm simply encouraging folks to train their workers to read the manufacturer's instructions and adhere to minimum regulatory compliance. I used to make a joke during field trainings that went like, "Hey, if you don't remember anything I said today, don't worry. You can find a copy of my speech in your manuals!" That being said, October has been a PACKED month of webinars. If you're not attending our live broadcasts, you're missing out on some great Q&A sessions. We've got one more coming up on Wednesday discussing Fixed Ladder regulation updates if you want to attend.

A SIL study is your compass to navigate the complex terrain of industrial safety. It's not just about meeting standards; it's about elevating your industry standing, fortifying your operations, and ensuring a resilient future for your business. For sectors like Manufacturing where precision and reliability are paramount, a SIL study is a strategic investment. It goes beyond compliance, offering a competitive edge by optimizing safety protocols, protecting personnel, and fortifying your operational framework.
