The global importance of SIL (Safety Integrity Levels) has grown substantially in the process industries over the years. However, for many end users, systems integrators, and product vendors, SIL is still a somewhat ambiguous concept
The Safety Lifecycle of Safety Instrumented Systems - an essential roadmap for maintaining safety in industrial facilities.
Both Process Safety Analysis (PHA) and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) occur in the early stage of the Functional Safety Lifecycle, detailed in both IEC 61511 and IEC 61508. They both serve significant roles in the whole process safety management.
Processing, transporting and storing of large amounts of energy in the form of hydrocarbons, can result in the unintentional release of that energy in ways that can harm people and damage the environment.
CHAZOPs are a part of the safety management process that focuses on the potential hazards associated with the of the control system
MEC is pleased to offer the development of new Proof Test Procedures, as required by IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, or the review and enhancement of existing proof test procedures
Let’s move away from poorly designed HMIs and learn about the High-Performance HMI.
