Velosi is conducting online training for Certified SIL Professional/Expert. This certification is structured in 2 levels which will test the fundamentals of functional safety engineering as per IEC 61508 & 61511.

As an important risk reduction measure, Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) play an important role in most of the process facilities worldwide. Within the context of functional safety, the necessary steps to follow to cover the needs and the requirements for the whole life cycle of safety-instrumented systems are dealt with. In accordance with the requirements set in the associated international standards such as IEC 61508/ IEC 61511 all phases including the design activities, verification & validation, commissioning & start up, the normal operation phase, and de-commissioning phase for safety-related systems that are based on electrical, electronic, and/or programmable electronic (E/E/PE) technology shall be managed during their life cycle.

Provide the delegates with a clear understanding about Functional Safety Life Cycle concepts as per IEC 61511, why there is a need for such concept, its link to PHA/ Risk assessments and how to manage the required steps.

Achieve a thorough understanding on SIL determination, SIL verification, SIL validation and the associated requirements in view of required Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) realized by Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) to control risks associated with hazardous scenarios in process facilities.

Training will be conducted via Microsoft Team Meeting, online. Meeting invites will be shared on the day before the first day of training.

4 Consecutive Saturdays at 09:00 AM to 03:00 PM GST (Dubai Time)
