Introduction
Functional safety in the process industry refers to the part of overall safety that depends on the correct functioning of systems and equipment to manage risks. It involves ensuring that safety-related systems operate correctly in response to inputs, preventing hazardous events or mitigating their consequences. We have created the following courses with a strong practical foundation based on real-world experience.
Functional safety is crucial in industries such as oil, gas, energy, chemicals, petroleum, and petrochemicals, where failures can cause significant harm to people, property, and the environment.
The courses are designed to focus on the specific characteristics of companies in the energy, oil, and gas sectors.
