afety Lifecycle: Benefits, Implementation & Impact on Field Devices

Session Abstract

The ultimate goal of any organization is to execute all activities so as to achieve desired level of safety as efficiently and effectively as possible. Governmental safety Regulations and international standards all support this goal, with varying degrees of clarity. However, one area of strong agreement in all standards and regulations is the definition of an overall safety life cycle. The Concept of Safety Lifecycle (SLC) has been specified in various standards, such as ANSI/ISA S-84.01-2004, IEC 61508, IEC 61511 etc.

Safety Life Cycle is a process, which provides a global context for specifying, designing, implementing, and maintaining Safety Instrumented system so as to achieve overall functional safety in a documented and verified way.
