Safety Integrity Level (SIL)

Safety Integrity Level (SIL)

At its core, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is about managing residual risk. But what exactly does SIL mean, and how is a system designed to meet the appropriate SIL level? Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive

Safety Instrumented Function (SIF)

Safety Instrumented Function (SIF)

A Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) is a protective layer designed to automatically bring a process to a safe state when set conditions are breached. How does it work? Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive

Safety Instrumented System (SIS)

Safety Instrumented System (SIS)

A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) implements one or more Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) using a combination of sensors, logic solvers, and final elements—along with communication and ancillary equipment. But how is SIS different from SIF? And why does this...
