May 7, 2014 - ACM Facility Safety announces its June and July 2014 schedule of process safety training courses and workshops. Classes typically are a combination of classroom and hands-on training covering various aspects of process safety, including P&ID drawings, hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies, Safety Integrity Level (SIL), Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), and similar topics. Courses include:
P&ID Engineering Drawing Interpretation Workshop

Price: $1,495 CDN.
SafeGuard Profiler Certification & Workshop
http://www.acm.ca/trainingcourses.aspx Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada June 3-5, 2014 This 2-day workshop is comprised of combined classroom instruction and workshop exercises. The range of topics that will be covered in this interactive session include importing HAZOP data, performing SIL Determination studies using Risk Graph and LOPA, SIF Loop Verification, SRS, and Reporting using SafeGuard Profiler software.
The course is free for qualified students and includes a copy of SafeGuard Profiler software.
PHA/HAZOP Leadership Workshop
http://www.acm.ca/course.aspx?menu_id=16&id=488 Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada June 4-6, 2014 This 3-day PHA / HAZOP course is designed to deliver expert instruction on how to successfully plan and execute Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) studies efficiently and effectively. This includes understanding the principles behind each of the major PHA methods (HAZOP, What-if? , Checklist, FMEA), learning how to deal with challenging personalities within the PHA team, and how to avoid common pitfalls and traps so PHA studies run smoothly.
Price: $2,200 CDN
SIL Determination/ LOPA Workshop
http://www.acm.ca/course.aspx?menu_id=16&id=502 Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada June 9-10, 2014 This 2-day course is designed to deliver expert instruction on how to successfully plan and execute Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Determination studies efficiently, effectively and in accordance with the IEC 61511 standard. This includes understanding the principles behind three of the most commonly used SIL Determination methods (Layer of Protection Analysis, Calibrated Risk Graph and Safety Layer Matrix), learning how to deal with challenging personalities within the SIL team and how to avoid common pitfalls and traps so studies run smoothly.
Price: $1,850 CDN
SIL Validation Workshop
http://www.acm.ca/course.aspx?menu_id=16&id=500 Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada June 11-12, 2014 This 2-day course is designed to provide students with the tools necessary to perform SIL Validation studies compliant with the IEC 61511 standard.
