Safety Instrumented Systems: A Life-Cycle Approach

ISA has published a new book that covers the entire life cycle of safety instrumented systems - including specification, design, analysis, programming, installation, maintenance, and change management. Safety Instrumented Systems: A Life-Cycle Approach by Paul Gruhn, PE, CFSE, and Simon Lucchini, CFSE, MIEAust CPEng, explains the significance and value of the ISA/IEC 61511 standard in improving functional process safety and gives important practical guidance and real-world case studies.

"To properly design, install, commission, and operate a safety system, you have to align the performance requirements of the standard with how process plants operate and how projects are executed," points out Lucchini, chief controls specialist and Fellow in Safety Systems at Fluor Canada and the Safety Systems Committee chair of ISA's Safety and Security Division. "Safety needs to be integrated into the design rather than 'bolted on' at some late stage of the project. This book helps guide functional safety engineers and others involved in process industry safety to the right decisions about safety systems at the right time."

New CAPs and CCSTs

Qualifying for and passing one of ISA's certification exams is a noteworthy accomplishment. The exams are rigorous and require a solid command of various disciplines in automation and control. Below is a list of individuals who have recently passed either our Certified Automation Professional (CAP) or one of the three levels of our Certified Control System Technician (CCST) exam. Congratulations to our new certification holders! For more information about the ISA CAP and CCST certification programs, please visit https://www.isa.org/certification.
