Written in easy to read format this book is the perfect one to get started with
the subject of SIS. It explains the background, provide brief of incidents, and
corresponding legislation relating to Safety. The book explains each and every
phase within Safety Life Cycle.
This is an excellent text on the subject of SIL Selection for a given SIF. Text
has chapters devoted to the areas Tolerable Risks guidelines, Consequence
Analysis for chemical processes, Risk evaluation/ SIL selection techniques.
There is one complete chapter on LOPA.
Books deals with the verification of SIL using probabilistic calculations. Book
starts with the explanation of Safety Life Cycle and brief of the concepts of
Reliability engineering. System modeling techniques inclusive of Reliability block
diagram, fault tree analysis, Markov models are discussed. There are chapters
devoted for various issues regarding Sensors, Logic Solvers, & Final Elements.
Alarm systems form the important protection layer within the complete Safety
System for a given facility. Alarm system could be part of Preventive layer of
Mitigation layer or both. The text deals on the effective identification &
deployment of this protection layer in the overall scheme of Safety within a
given facility.
This is a classic text on Control System Safety Evaluation. In short the book
deals with the application of Reliability Engineering when applied to Control
Systems. Explains system architectures in more detail and also system modeling
techniques, viz., Reliability block diagram, Fault tree Analysis & Markov models
are discussed in more detail.
ANSI/ ISA 84.00.01 was adopted directly from IEC 61511. ANSI/ ISA version
differs from IEC version in that the former also includes what is referred to as
�Grandfather Clause�.
