SAFETY LIFE CYCLE

We provide a comprehensive approach to ensure compliance with all requirements of a Safety System as per its Life Cycle according to IEC 61511 and 61508.

This includes conceptual and detailed design of each SIF and any other instrumental (BPCS) or procedural / operational protection system needed to achieve appropriate level of risk as well as operational and maintenance planning to ensure integrity and reliability required throughout the operational life of the installation.

PHASE ANALYSIS

Evaluation and improvement proposals of preliminary conceptual designs with the intention of obtaining inherently more secure designs.
PHA’s (Process Hazard Analysis) to identify possible scenarios using qualitative (HAZID, FMEA, Event Trees, HAZOP), semi-quantitative (FMCEA), and quantitative (FTA, LOPA) methodologies.
Assignment of Protection Layers and SIL allocation through the correct use of qualitative (Risk Graphs and Matrices) and quantitative (LOPA) methodologies.
Preparation of SRS (Safety Requirement Specifications).

PHASE REALIZATION

Conceptual and detailed engineering design of the different IPLs (BPCS, Operational, SIS).
Conceptual design of procedures (installation, pre/commissioning, operational and maintenance to keep the integrity of the protections).
SIL Verification for SIS IPLs.
Detailed design of pre/commissioning, operation and maintenance procedures (Loop Check, Validation, Impairment, Proof Tests, Leak Tests, Functional and Visual Checks etc).
Development of pre/commissioning activities (Loop Check and HW and SW Validation).
FSA (Functional Safety Assessment): Audit to verify that the different activities of the SIS Life Cycle have been carried out correctly prior the Start Up of Operation, as well as to ensure that the different stakeholders have been properly trained and are qualified to perform their function related to safety.

PHASE OPERATION

Training key personnel in the different functions, operation and maintenance roles for the correct performance of their security-related tasks (Identification of safety loops, alarm management, error and system failure management, implementation of Proof Tests, Impairment, MOC, etc.)
