Modern measures of risk reduction in industrial processes

Kościelny Jan Maciej, Syfert Michał, Fajdek Bartłomiej

Journal of Automation Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems

2019

Vol. 13, No. 1

20--29

The article describes standard safety-protection layers according to EN 61511 standard. Their aim is to reduce risk, thus to decrease the frequency of occurrence of threatening incidents and/or consequences of such incidents. The aim of the article was to present currently developed means of increasing process safety, which are not included in the standards. There are described: advisory diagnostic systems, fault tolerant control systems, process simulators for operators training and IT systems supporting safety. Such components can be treated as additional layers of process protection. A simple example comparing the operation of alarm and diagnostic systems as well as the example of the fault tolerant control system of the level in the drum boiler in sugar factory are given.

Problems in designing and operating functional safety solutions of higher integrity levels

Kosmowski K.

Journal of Polish Safety and Reliability Association

2013

Vol. 4, No. 1

83--100

The aim of this article is to identify and discuss some problems that have been encountered in designing and operating the functional safety solutions of higher safety integrity levels (SIL 3 and SIL 4) in the light of analyses outlined in a new version of the international standard IEC 61508:2010. Examples of such solutions are the electric / electronic / programmable electronic systems (E/E/PESs) and the safety instrumented systems (SISs) being designed and operated respectively according to IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 in the system safety life cycle. The role of functional safety solutions is effective reducing and controlling the individual and/or societal risk with regard to tolerable levels defined. Some aspects of potential influence of danger failures of the E/E/PESs or SISs on the plant safety are considered. The influence of common cause failures (CCFs) and dependent failures in the context of the layer of protection analysis is also discussed.
