In today’s dynamic production environments, ensuring the safety and efficiency of critical systems is more important than ever. One of the key challenges faced by Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) engineers is determining whether Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) barriers are performing as designed. Many wonder if the real-world data from their plants is accurately reflected in the Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) calculations used during design.
In our upcoming webinar, experts Brian Nixon from Hexagon and Pieter Poldervaart from Cenosco will address these pressing concerns. They will dive into what production sites must do, explore practical technologies that can be implemented, and highlight the complexities engineers should know when assessing SIS performance.
Why attend?
Attending this webinar is a must for engineers and safety professionals who want to ensure that their Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) are performing as designed and aligned with real-world plant data. It’s an invaluable opportunity to gain practical insights into SIS barrier performance assurance, understand the implementation challenges, and discover proven strategies to overcome them.
What will be covered?
Key topics of the How to Measure Your Safety Instrumented System’s (SIS) Performance webinar:
- Introduction to SIS barrier performance assurance: What it is and why it’s important.
- Strategies for achieving SIS barrier performance assurance on production sites.
- Key challenges engineers may encounter during implementation.
- A discussion on the effort versus benefit of implementing SIS barrier performance assurance.
