Course description
This course will develop your understanding of Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) and how they are managed.
Many facilities use SIFs to reduce the likelihood of a hazardous event and maintain the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) status. SIFs are generally designed and operated in conformance with IEC 61508/ IEC 61511. The codes address SIF design, selection and ongoing management in terms of a life cycle.
