Functional Safety Management of Legacy and Installed Safety Systems
About the event
This is the Cork region's first event of 2017 where functional safety expert Dil Wetherill will discuss functional safety management of legacy and installed safety systems. He will review the draft guidance being developed in the UK for the management of installed (“Legacy”) safety systems, where compliance to IEC 61511 was not considered at the time of installation. The lecture will review the procedures required to adequately manage these systems and ensure they provide the required risk reduction. This lecture will be of interest to automation, mechanical and process engineers, and anyone else involved in the implementation of automated safety systems.
