Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Training Course – Downloadable PowerPoint Material

This Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Training Course provides a practical, in-depth understanding of the design, implementation, and management of SIS within process industries. Developed for engineers, safety professionals, and technical managers, the material covers the full lifecycle of SIS— from hazard identification and risk assessment to system design, validation, operation, and maintenance. It aligns with IEC 61511/61508 international safety standards and includes case studies, diagrams, and ready-to-use templates for professional training delivery. Whether for self-learning or corporate training, this downloadable PowerPoint course equips learners with the essential knowledge to ensure functional safety, prevent catastrophic failures, and maintain regulatory compliance in high-risk industrial environments.

This course is ideal for trainers, consultants, and professionals seeking ready-to-deliver material or structured learning content for workshops, classroom sessions, or internal corporate training.

What This Training Material Covers

1. Introduction to Safety Instrumented Systems

• Definition, importance, and purpose of SIS

• Key concepts: Safety Integrity Level (SIL), risk reduction, and functional safety

• Differences between SIS, BPCS (Basic Process Control System), and alarm systems

2. Standards and Regulations

• Overview of IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards

• Legal and regulatory framework for process safety

• Compliance strategies for process industries

3. SIS Lifecycle Approach

• The lifecycle model as defined by IEC 61511

• Phases: Concept → Design → Engineering → Installation → Operation → Maintenance → Decommissioning

• Documentation and validation requirements throughout the lifecycle

4. Hazard and Risk Analysis

• HAZOP and LOPA techniques for identifying and quantifying process risks

• Determining Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs)

• Risk reduction and target SIL determination

5. Design and Engineering of SIS

• Selection of hardware and software architectures

• Redundancy, fault tolerance, and voting logic (1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo3 systems)

• Sensor, logic solver, and final element design considerations

6. SIL Verification and Validation

• Methods for verifying that the SIS meets the required SIL

• Probability of Failure on Demand (PFDavg) calculation

• Functional testing, proof test intervals, and performance monitoring

7. Operation, Maintenance, and Management of SIS

• Managing changes, maintenance, and periodic testing

• Common SIS failures and troubleshooting techniques

• Maintaining safety performance through audits and assessments

8. SIS Documentation and Performance Metrics

• SIS Safety Requirement Specification (SRS)

• Performance indicators for safety and reliability

• Continuous improvement and lifecycle tracking

9. Case Studies and Practical Applications

• Real-world examples from the oil, gas, and chemical industries

• Lessons learned from SIS-related incidents and audits

• Best practices for effective implementation
