DESCRIPTION:Safety Instrument Systems (SIS) intend to control risk of hazar
 ds to a tolerable boundary by reducing dangerous failures rate. There are 
 two types of failures\; random and systematic. Random failures occur at ra
 ndom times and result from one or more degradation mechanisms. Systematic 
 failures\, however\, are related to a deterministic way to a certain cause
 \, which can only be eliminated by a modification of the design or manufac
 turing process\, operational procedures\, documentation or other relevant 
 factors. Both systematic safety integrity (to avoid systematic failures) a
 nd hardware safety Integrity (to avoid random failures) are needed to meet
  the required risk reduction target for a SIS. Thus\, if systematic integr
 ity is missed\, much is neglected. Studies show that many catastrophic acc
 idents occurring in process industries address multiple systematic failure
 s. Unlike random failures\, systematic failures cannot be analyzed straigh
 tforwardly. The author’s experiences in automation field of process indu
 stries shows avoidance and control of systematic failures in SIS are not b
 eing highlighted as much as random hardware failures. This talk focuses on
  systematic failures and discusses procedures\, techniques and measures to
  be used for avoidance and control of systematic failures.\n\nSpeaker(s):

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Safety Instrument Systems (SIS) intend to 
 control risk of hazards to a tolerable boundary by reducing dangerous fail
 ures rate. There are two types of failures\; random and systematic. Random
  failures occur at random times and result from one or more degradation me
 chanisms. Systematic failures\, however\, are related to a deterministic w
 ay to a certain cause\, which can only be eliminated by a modification of 
 the design or manufacturing process\, operational procedures\, documentati
 on or other relevant factors. Both systematic safety integrity (to avoid s
 ystematic failures) and hardware safety Integrity (to avoid random failure
 s) are needed to meet the required risk reduction target for a SIS. Thus\,
  if systematic integrity is missed\, much is neglected. Studies show that 
 many catastrophic accidents occurring in process industries address multip
 le systematic failures. Unlike random failures\, systematic failures canno
