January 14, 2014 - ACM Facility Safety presents a free two-day workshop with hands-on instruction on the use of the SafeGuard Profiler Risk Analysis software tool. SafeGuard Profiler is a field-proven Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Lifecycle tool that gives control systems designers, engineers and operators the information and power they need to conduct successful engineering failure analysis, SIL Determination, SIL Verification/Validation and SIL Optimization exercises.
The range of topics that will be covered in this interactive session include importing Process Hazards Analysis data, performing SIL Determination studies using Risk Graph and Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) Loop Verification/Validation, Safety Requirements Specifications, and Reporting. ACM Facility Safety knows that participating in a free trial without proper understanding is insufficient to explain all of the software’s competencies. That is why ACM recommends that new clients take advantage of its risk and obligation-free 30-day trial complete with expert training to ensure users get a comprehensive, user-friendly picture of all the advantages SafeGuard Profiler offers.
SafeGuard Profiler is a user-friendly risk analysis software solution that offers comprehensive safety system analysis and design. Safeguard Profiler is compliant with IEC 61511-ISA/ANSI 84.0 as well as LOPA methodologies provided by the Center for Chemical Process Safety. The workshop covers these and other related topics:
- Safety Life Cycle (SIL standards)
- Bowtie Risk Visualization (everyone becomes an expert)
- HAZOP-SIL Import (all existing HAZOP – SIL data can be used)
- Risk Graph (most risk matrices’ can be replicated)
- LOPA (using Bowtie where everyone becomes an expert)
- SIL Determination (SIL standards)
- Contingency Planning (prevents high risk operations)
- SIF Loop Verification (SIL standards)
- SIF Failure Mode Analysis (Functional Safety Engineering feature)
- SIF Optimization (Functional Safety Engineering feature)
- Safety Requirements Specifications (SIL standards)
- Real Time Risk Systems and Integration methods (CEO dashboard tool)
The workshop is appropriate for High Integrity and Critical Control System specialists, I & C Team Leaders, engineers and technologists, SIL and LOPA team leaders and scribes, and engineers involved in any aspect of the SIS Safety Lifecycle. This training is free, but must be scheduled. All workshops are held at the Institute of Hazard Prevention founded by ACM Facility Safety in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
