Functional Safety and Safety Instrumented Systems Lifecycle
Apply the complete SIS lifecycle from hazard allocation and SIL determination through design, proof testing, operation and change control.
Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
Apply the complete SIS lifecycle from hazard allocation and SIL determination through design, proof testing, operation and change control. Participants work through five connected modules using discipline-specific evidence, calculations and an applied decision case.
Prerequisites
Prior exposure to process operations, PFDs and engineering calculations is recommended.
Objectives
- Interpret functional-safety lifecycle and governance using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Calculate hazard allocation and sil determination using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Diagnose safety requirements and design verification using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Evaluate proof testing, bypasses and operational discipline using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Deliver sis lifecycle assurance workshop using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
Target audience
- Process, operations and process-safety engineers
- Control, inspection and technical-assurance specialists
- Technical assurance, data and reliability practitioners
- Supervisors and discipline leads responsible for operational decisions

Training Options
Programs can be delivered in-house, online, or in a blended format depending on your team's schedule, location, and learning objectives. When an external certificate or exam is included, certification rules and fees remain under the relevant awarding body's policies, while 4D provides the training and preparation support.
Why choose 4D
4D adapts the technical depth, evidence, calculations and capstone decisions to the client's assets, operating context and participant responsibilities.
