A simplified risk equation could be represented by: Risk = Consequence x Frequency. A safety instrumented systems (SIS) study is an essential component of risk management.

The handling and transfer of hazardous chemicals in facilities necessitates stringent safety protocols. This requires separate mechanisms to intervene in case of other preventative systems failing. These mechanisms are called safety instrumented systems (SIS).

Read this newsletter by Marcel Amoros Marti for a look at the fundamental principles of SIS, the applicable standards, and the requirements for completing a Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) document. He covers:

  • SIS Applicable Standards
  • SIS Definitions
  • Safety Requirements Specification (SRS)
  • Functional Safety Requirements
  • Functional Integrity Requirements
  • SIF Verification Parameters

Bonus!

This newsletter also includes access to a complimentary 60-minute webinar presented by Marcel Amoros Marti for an overview of the concept of risk and QRA, including the design of an Independent Protection Layer (IPL) from the reliability point of view.

Have a great and safe day.
