 Over the past 25 years, the process safety and functional safety disciplines have evolved from the implementation of safety legislation and the creation of governing authorities, to the re- development of best practices and the adoption of applicable standards. As the push for operational excellence and process safety spreads across multiple industries worldwide, organizations are continuously looking to technology to offer effective solutions.

Over that time, technological advances have provided new and effective software products that sought to answer this call; yet, emerging process safety methodologies and technical limitations of the 1990s and early 2000s reduced their scope and efficacy. Detailed here are the evolution of information-man- management technology, the benefits of software innovation over the last 25 years, and the limitations of tactical solutions that led to the search for new products.

Also demonstrated is the evolution from disparate application- cations and data-management systems to strategically linked, cloud-based solutions. This evolution is allowing thought leaders within the petrochemical industry to re-engineer how their plants implement and execute process and functional safety. 

 

Functional Safety Assessments

The IEC and ISA standards for Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs) describe basic requirements for Functional Safety Assessments (FSAs) (FSAs), but do not provide specifications or guidance on how to execute or document an FSA. This commonly results in FSAs that are incomplete, hard to use or inconsistent from one application to the next. From an enterprise perspective, this challenge intensifies with multiple functional areas or sites that operate independently.

This paper discusses the requirements for FSAs of SISs and the advantages of using a Protective Systems Safety Lifecycle Manager, such as SLM, as the primary tool for standardizing and assessing.

As increasing attention falls upon managing Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs), industry leaders are looking for more reliable device and equipment options when designing their safety instrumented functions – the goal being to achieve the highest possible Risk Reduction Factor (RRF) per instrumented function, while minimizing construction and maintenance costs.

You have seen the SLM® demonstration and are impressed. Every process safety, safety engineering and operations challenge that you threw at the demonstration team has been answered. The software has a well-designed and user friendly solution for every problem except one: How do you sell this to your management?

This paper discusses how safety lifecycle software purchases may be effectively justified to your senior management through both business and safety case studies from actual customer experiences. Your numbers will likely differ from the numbers used in these case studies, but this paper should help you understand where to look.
