TUV Certified Functional Safety Training in India
Mumbai, Feb 16, 2012- Abhisam Software informs us that the February batch of the TUV Certified Functional Safety Training Course was sold out, within weeks of being announced! This batch was held from 7th to 10th February 2012 at Aker Solutions training center (in the Aker Solutions office building), located at iThink Techno Campus, an iconic office complex coming up in the eastern suburb of Kanjurmarg, Mumbai. This batch was attended by several to notch engineers from companies such as Aker Solutions, ABB, iGate Patni, Petrofac and others. The training was led by Dr. Michel Houtermans of Risknowlogy, who have partnered with Abhisam to bring this globally recognized qualification to India.
“This training program is superb and is a must-do, for every professional who desires to master Functional Safety and work in areas such as Risk Assessment, Safety Integrity Level, Safety Instrumented Systems and such. Dr. Houtermans is not only an expert in the subject but also a very good speaker and trainer and I absolutely enjoyed being in the program when all my doubts were cleared in no time” was a spontaneous reactions from one of the participants. “The TUV test is tough but it is also necessary to pass it and get the title of FSEng, as our clients insist on qualified personnel working on their safety systems” was the reason given by another engineer who participated in the program.
The next batch starts from April 17th and registrations have already started according to an Abhisam spokesman who informed us. So we think it will be a great idea to participate in this, don’t you?
Learn the basics of Functional Safety and Safety Integrity Level
Mumbai, Dec 12, 2011- Abhisam Software informs us that they have arranged a training workshop on Basics of Functional Safety and Safety Integrity Level, in Mumbai, India on 6th Feb 2012. The last such workshop that took place in Sep 2011 was very popular and hence this second workshop has been planned.
There is a lot of curiosity in India about Safety Integrity Level (SIL), Functional Safety and related topics but very little information is available for say, a design engineer who wishes to understand the concept of SIL or for an Instrument vendor who would like to certify his transmitter as “SIL 3″ compliant. There are also a lot of misconceptions and myths surrounding SIL which is tragic. There is confusion amongst some engineers for example between verification and validation, about what constitutes a Safety Function and whether it is the same thing as an interlock, whether redundancy and voting are the same thing, whether 2003 is better or worse than 1002 and so on….
Local manufacturers are not clear how to get their products certified to SIL and they hence lose out to products of a similar quality, but which have the SIL tag on them.
All these problems and questions will be answered in this information packed one day workshop. Educating participants and fielding various questions will be Dr. Michel Houtermans, the world’s leading authority on Functional Safety, Safety Instrumented Systems and SIL. Dr. Houtermans will be present in India to carry out a series of workshops and training programs in February and this a good opportunity to meet and understand the following:
- Introduction to Functional Safety and SIL
- History of functional safety
- Industries applying Functional Safety- Case Studies
- How does SIL affect me, my products and my company?
- How to determine the SIL level?
- How to design for SIL?
- What role does certification play?
- What is a “SIL study”?
- Is SIL 3 better than SIL 1? …… and much more.
Interested participants may contact Abhisam Software India office to get the details.
