SYNOPSIS

SIL
In the Layer of Protection methodology, a layer of protection designed to eliminate cause of risk or minimize the consequence of an event is the Safety Instrumented Function (SIF). The expectation of the SIF’s reliability to perform upon demand must be defined so that it is designed appropriately. The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) study is a tool used this.

Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a semi-quantitative risk analysis technique. It is more rigorous than a HAZOP but less time-intensive than a quantitative risk assessment (QRA). LOPA evaluates risks by orders of magnitude of selected accident scenarios and builds on information developed in qualitative hazard evaluation.

This full day course is designed to educate participants in the SIL process from the perspective of a SIL team member. It is meant to provide both instruction and workshop sessions so that the participants:
•    Are familiar with the concept of ‘risk’
•    Are familiar with the theory behind Layers of Protection and SIF
•    Are familiar with the different SIL methodologies: risk graph, risk matrix, LOPA.
•    Have expectations as to what the SIL workshop will (and won’t provide)
•    Understand what deliverables can be expected from a SIL workshop.
•    Have the opportunity to participate in SIL exercise in a safe environment.
•    Opportunity to share SIL experiences.

At the end of the session, the participants should:
•    Understand the responsibilities of all parties in the SIL.
•    Have experience in a SIL session.
•    Understand the outcomes from a SIL session.
