Abstract

Operating most industrial processes, especially those in the oil and gas industry, involves an inherent risk due to the presence of dangerous/flammable substances. Therefore, using Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) is mandatory. These systems are especially designed to protect personnel, equipment and environment by reducing the likelihood of an unwanted event to appear by reducing the severity of its impact. This chapter presents a comprehensive Introduction in the field of Safety Instrumented Systems, then the most important feature of a SIS is presented, Safety Integrity Level of a Safety Instrumented System and some Practical Aspects Regarding Safety Instrumented Systems are outlined. The chapter ends with some considerations regarding IT Enabled Safety Systems.
