A Novices Overview of Safety Lifecycle Manager (SLM®)
The Safety Lifecycle Manager software application, SLM, is a powerful application that allows an Enterprise, Manufacturing Site or Engineering Project to manage and fully document Process Safety information in one location…
Functional Safety Assessments Using Safety Lifecycle Manager
This Whitepaper discusses the requirements for Functional Safety Assessments of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and the advantages of using Safety Lifecycle Manage (SLM®) as the primary tool for standardizing the conduct and documentation of FSAs…
Safety Requirement Specification SLM® Overview
This Whitepaper will review the purpose andusage of an SRS, some of the issues that have been observed in SRS’s produced by various organizations, provide some practical suggestions for SRS preparation, and discuss the advantages of a Data-Driven SRS…
Tracking Safety Instrumented Systems Performance with Process Data
By leveraging the power of real-world device event data and incorporating that data into a SIS Safety Lifecycle Management (SLM) software, plant operations and maintenance teams can gain powerful insights into the performance of their Safety…
The Business Case for Integrated Safety Lifecycle Management
Safety Lifecycle Management roles and functions cross multiple organizational boundaries and require active and continual sharing of data that often does not occur in traditional process facilities. This paper discusses the business reasons for adoption….
Safety Requirmenet Specs – They don’t have to be hard (or Expensive)
IEC 61511 and ISA 84.00.01-2004, Clause 10, requires that a Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) be prepared for all Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs). The Clause presents a number of items to cover in the SRS, but provides little or no guidance on…
Leveraging Prior Use to Build an Actionable Instrumentation Reliability Database
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…
Justifying Investment in a Safety Lifecycle Management (SLM) Platform
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…
Automating SIS Performance Metrics with OSI-PI Using SLM
Since the standard was first issued in 2003, PSM-covered operating sites have been working hard to get to the point where all SIS functions are kept up to date with SIL Verification, SRS per function, and the regular proof testing. Edition 2 now requires…
Historical Data Integration With SLM
SLM has expanded its integration reach to include cloud based historical data integration. While SLM itself has been cloud based for some time, most data sources for plant operational data (historians) have required on-premises connectivity for access…
Hydrocarbon Processing
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 de-development of best practices and the adoption of applicable standards…
