- Designing Operator Tasks to Minimize the Impact of Heuristics and Biases
This is the theory of System 1 (i.e., Fast) versus System 2 (i.e., Slow) thinking that explains we are really two people: Our conscious aware selves (System 2 thinking), and a dominant “fast” subconscious making most of our decisions (System 1 thinking) without being consciously aware of it in the moment This paper proposes a combined approach of discussing the cognitive psychology behind System 1 and System will incorporate the learnings from 5 years of safety critical Task Analysis performed for field and control
- The use of Bayesian Networks in Functional Safety - Whitepaper
Looking at actual accidents caused by control and safety system failures shows that accidents are not It’s up to management to control these factors.
- How Can I Effectively Place My Gas Detectors
incorrect detector placement far outweighs the probability of failure on demand (of the individual system components) in limiting the effectiveness of the gas detection system. An effective gas detection system has three elements: 1. purposes, i.e. detection of toxic or combustible levels, voting requirements, alarm rationalization , and control Topics include: Instrumentation, Reduction of Risk, Risk Assessment, Protection, Detection System, Alarms
- Methodologies in Reducing Systematic Failures of Wired IPLs
Two common types are Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) and Basic Process Control System (BPCS) functions The SIFs typically reside within a SIL-rated programmable logic controller, and their achieved quantitative

- Machinery Safety – Is it a Safety Function?
In machine control system design, the question of when to use safety-rated equipment is commonly asked The defining question should be whether the specific machine control function is a safety function. safety functions (e.g., equipment, devices, or circuits) and the required performance level of the system's facility and environment, as well as the specific machines integrated with upstream and downstream systems Alarms, warning systems, holding brakes, and starting up a backup generator are all examples of safety
- PSM and RMP Audit Themes Across Industry | Part 2
you might think, including such areas as a clear electrical area classification map, basic process control , relief devices, emergency shutdown systems, controls, and rotating equipment. programs for mechanical equipment are typically better developed than those for instrumentation and control systems, there are still relatively common concerns identified for mechanical equipment. Mechanical Integrity program concerns with controls (including monitoring devices and sensors, alarms

- Dust Hazards Pt. 4 – Dust Handling Safeguards
consequences, there is a range of possible safeguards including both administrative and engineering controls Continuing with the engineering controls, proper electrical area classification using the guidance in Control of hot work is a very important administrative tool to minimize the potential for hot work to Somewhat related to control of oxygen content, the concentration of dust may at times also be controlled The primary control for this concern is an effective manual or automatic cleaning regime in place for
