(formerly Practical Application of Safety Integrity Level Evaluations) Testimonials "Absolute must to understand ANSI/ISA-84.01 and how OSHA 1910.119 is impacted." -Stanley L. Shively, Supervisor; Safety, Learning, and Development; IMC Phosphates Company Course Description Learn the Principles of System Designs that Conform to Applicable Codes and Standards The design of high integrity interlock and control systems is a topic of great importance to companies handling highly hazardous chemicals or those involved in the operation of systems needing a high level of availability. This course focuses on the principles involved in the design of high integrity systems that conform to the requirements of ANSI SP 84 (formerly ISA 84.01) or control active pressure protection systems such as those allowed by ASME Code Case 2211. In this intensive 2-day course you will learn how to evaluate the need for a high integrity control system, evaluate potential system architectures, and analyze the system to determine its reliability characteristics. Get Answers to Questions Like These: If the failure of your interlock system could result in a major production loss of $10 million, what level of reliability should the interlock system achieve? Should you use an expensive redundant computer or a cheaper programmable logic controller (PLC) in the control system? Should you use single or multiple field devices in a control or interlock system? If the failure of your interlock could result in a major environmental release, should you provide multiple redundant interlocks or multiple layers of protection to prevent the release? How You Will Benefit Be able to evaluate performance claims of control systems and interlock systems Learn the importance of good maintenance procedures for the integrity of your systems Learn how to design and specify high integrity interlock systems Gain understanding of the regulatory requirements for your control and interlock systems Come away from the course with these valuable materials: Course notes Complete solutions to worked examples A copy of the CCPS book Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes A certificate of completion Accreditation: 1.2 CEUs, 1.2 COCs, 2.0 CMs, ABIH approval #10-242 For more information on this course, contact Customer Service at 1-800-769-1199.   Combine this course with Layer of Protection Analysis and SAVE!
