Reduce the risk. Realise the benefits
Industrial processes involve innate risk. Each year, catastrophes in chemical
and oil & gas industries account for millions of dollars of losses and even
the loss of lives. As a result, plant owners, directors, shareholders, production
and maintenance managers have an enormous responsibility to protect the environment,
the health and safety of all those affected by their plant, and to avoid consumer
losses.
Honeywell’s certified TÜV engineers have helped leading companies around Australia and
the world reduce risk, minimize the impact of emergency events and meet industry safety
standards through effective SIS solutions.
Compliance with industrial standards requires:
- Identification of safety functions required for safe shutdown
- Assignment of a safety integrity level (SIL) for each safety function
- Use of the safety lifecycle for the safety system design
- Verification of the safety integrity level achieved for each safety function
Our engineers understand the elements of the SIS Safety Life Cycles presented in
ANSI/ISA 84.00.01-2004, AS IEC 61508, and IEC 61511. Coupled with our industry-leading
alarm management experience, our expertise enables us to partner with you to:
- Developing and deploying internal standards and practices,
- Determining safety integrity level target assignment,
- The quantitative evaluation and improvement of safety system performance.
While the main motivation for SIS solutions is process safety, these systems also reduce
the consequences of industrial hazards. SIS systems reduce serious environmental impact,
diminish the economic impact of property and equipment damage, reduce plant downtime, and
reduce insurance premiums by meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements. Moreover,
reducing the risk of a catastrophic failure clearly demonstrates a company’s reliability
to its customers.
