Project pitfalls of the safety life-cycle

Safety instrumented systems (SIS) are being employed more and more across many different process sector applications, often in an attempt to conform to IEC 61511. This course focuses on the pitfalls experienced by the presenter from the helicopter view of independent project assessments and audits. The hope is that by sharing experiences, others might learn where to best apply emphasis and focus on future projects.
