A Case for Competence: Global Process Facilities Need to Increase ISA/IEC 61511 Functional Safety Expertise

Process industries are facing unprecedented challenges and roadblocks to maintaining consistently safe facilities and processes.

Investigations of recent incidents have reinforced the importance of international standards IEC 61508 and ISA/IEC 61511 as a benchmark of acceptable good practice in the management, design, application, and operation of safety instrumented systems.

The International Society of Automation (ISA), the globally trusted provider of technical resources for the industrial automation profession, has released a whitepaper that outlines these new challenges and establishes why the adoption of these standards develops a continuous improvement approach to safety system management.
