Health, Safety and Environment

Instrumentation equipment can fail in various ways, commonly referred to as “failure modes.” For example, a two-wire pressure transmitter, designed to provide a 4–20 milliamp signal proportional to the pressure

Reliability is a crucial aspect of any system, especially in industries where operational efficiency and safety are critical. Whether it’s an aircraft in flight, an unmanned space mission, or industrial

BPCS vs SIS: Understanding the Key Differences When it comes to process control and safety in industrial environments, two critical systems come into play: the Basic Process Control System (BPCS)

Understanding Architectural Constraints in Functional Safety In the world of functional safety, ensuring that systems operate reliably under all circumstances is paramount. One key concept in achieving this reliability is

Common cause failure is the failure of more than one component, item, or system due to the same cause or initiating event. It is particularly important to look for common

Understanding Risk in Industrial Safety: Process, Tolerable, and Residual Risks Risk is a measure of the frequency and consequence of a specified hazardous event occurring and plays a pivotal role

In Functional Safety and SIL assessment, the Risk Reduction Factor (RRF) serves as a key parameter metric, providing a quantitative measure of how much risk must be mitigated to achieve

What is Systematic Capability? Systematic capability (SC) is a measure of the confidence that a safety-related element (hardware or software) meets the requirements of its specified Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
