Training Summary
This 5-day FS Engineer (TÜV Rheinland) PH&RA course, delivered by Pure Integrity in partnership with C&C Technical Support Services, gives process, safety, instrument, and operations professionals the tools to identify hazards and assess risk in line with the early lifecycle phases of IEC 61508/IEC 61511. The course comprises four days of classroom tuition and practical guidance, followed by a five-hour competency assessment on day five.
Delivered by David Kirkwood, a UK-based Functional Safety expert with 30 years of experience, this programme covers hazard analysis tools (What-If, HAZOP, HAZAN), risk assessment techniques (SIL, LOPA, FMEA, ETA, FTA), and the framework for building an effective Safety Management System. This course is 100% HRD Corp claimable, with group registration discounts available.

Course Outline
Process Safety & Risk Management
Understand the difference between occupational and process safety, core risk management principles, and the ALARP concept, framed within IEC 61511 and the requirements for managing functional safety.
Hazard Identification Methods
Learn to identify process hazards using HAZOP (per IEC 61882), What-If Analysis, Checklist Analysis, and the Bowtie method, and apply Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to system and equipment failures.
Risk Assessment & SIL Determination
Apply qualitative and semi-quantified risk assessment techniques — including risk graphs, Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) — to determine required Safety Integrity Levels.
Safety Requirements & Documentation
Develop the Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) and understand the documentation and reporting standards needed to formalise a defensible hazard and risk analysis basis.
