How to prevent risks and reduce harms

MYND is an Italian and international company specialized in Functional Safety for Process Industries (Oil&Gas, Petrochemical, Power etc)

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY? This unknown!

The target for Industrial Plants is to be profittable, of course, but have TO BE SAFE as well! 

Imagine that your production plant having a failure, like some valves breaked or a problem to some pumps! These problem COULD LEAD TO TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES IF NOT CONSIDERED USING AN APPROPRIATE RISKS ASSESSMENT!!! In fact, many historical accidents could be avoided with appropriated studies about what could be the hazardous event if something during production going out of control!

Today, with in-depth studies already in the design phase, we can reduce risks in industrial processes that could lead to consequences for people, environmental impact and economic loss.

Target of these studies is to identify and to evaluate the hazardous scenarious as possible source of harms and to identify if existing safeguards levels are enough or it's needed an additional Safety Safeguard.

Just for example; for overpressure the PSV (pressure safety valve) is a very robust safeguards but, unfortunately, since we are talking about real instruments, all safeguards have a probability of failure. Therefore a determination of probability of failures against hazardous event is mandatory in order to be sure that risk will be removed!

 For this purpose normally are applied two standards related the design of Safety Safeguards for Process Industries: IEC61508 and IEC61511. 

MYND has great experiences in teaching engineers about risk reduction assessment in compliance of standards above mentioned and to determine with risk assessment eventual adjustment needed. 

All important engineering companies and end users around the world are using these risk reduction actions, related Functional Safety according IEC61508 and IEC61511

MYND would to propose you a training course directly in your company.

YOU CAN NOW REQUEST OUR TRAINING PROGRAM TO [email protected]

Until today, more than 400 engineers and more than 20 companies have followed MYND courses on Functional Safety!

With the skills acquired during this course, participants will be able to:

• Manage a project in accordance of IEC61511
• To partecipate in a SIL analysis knowing all the elements that distinguish it
• Know the meaning of the SIL levels
• Perform a SIL level check with what has been designed
• Purchase the appropriate instruments to install in the Safety Instrumented System (SIS), having the knowledge on how to read the characteristics of the SIL certifications
• Create an SRS (Safety Requirements Specification) for your project

Functional Safety training course is addressed principally to Process, Technician, Helath and Safety, Instrumentation, Automation engineers but should be interesting for Project Manager, Project Engineers and so on

During the course will be developed application and real examples to increase the understanding of the world of functional safety.

At the end a MYND attendance certificate will be provided.

Be safe, Be MYND!
