Five-day course on IEC 61508 for people who identify and analyse safety aspects of E/E/PE systems: the safety life-cycle, system, hardware and software safety requirements, risk and SIL determination, and safety analysis techniques.
Covers the compliance requirements of the seven-part IEC 61508 standard and its two principles: a safety life-cycle built on best practice to find and remove design errors, and a probabilistic approach to the safety impact of device failures. Over five days it works through the scope of the standard and its deliverables, the E/E/PE safety life-cycle (phases and activities for systems and software, verification and validation, functional safety assessment, competency requirements), safety requirements for the system and hardware (hardware safety integrity, architectural constraints by SIL, integration and commissioning, systematic capability and proven-in-use arguments), safety requirements for software (software safety life-cycle, architecture, coding standards and test strategy by SIL, static and dynamic analysis), risk concepts and safety integrity (tolerable risk, HARA, common-cause and systematic failures, SIL determination by ALARP, risk graph and layer of protection analysis), and the techniques and measures used to achieve functional safety, including traceability and safety analysis with FMEA, FTA and HAZOP. Each day includes a breakout exercise, and the course ends with a two-hour final exam.
