Four-day live-virtual course on functional safety to IEC 61508: safety life cycles, hardware and systematic safety integrity, SIL determination, software safety and cybersecurity.
Focuses on the requirements for functional safety as system complexity increases, helping participants interpret and apply IEC 61508, address issues in designing and managing safety systems, and integrate cybersecurity into the overall safety strategy. Part one introduces functional safety: its basics, safety life cycles and compliance, random hardware and systematic failures, hardware and systematic safety integrity, assurance measures, management of functional safety and competence, and SIL determination and ALARP. Part two covers management, design, assessment and maintenance through a walkthrough from hazard and risk analysis to final design, operation and maintenance, and case studies. Part three covers software safety and cybersecurity, including machinery safety with IEC 62061, IEC 61508 software requirements, complex semiconductors, cybersecurity and safety, and the challenges of artificial intelligence.
