Program:
Safety standards IEC 61508 and 61511 have become well known and accepted over the past few years. But while most engineers feel they understand the requirements, the use and implementation of these standards varies depending on the experience of the user. What is needed is a set of tools for the use of these standards that can be geared to most industries and projects.
Come and learn a systematic approach to the design of safety systems that is life cycle based and provides a cost effective solution without sacrificing overall plant safety.
