Risk control systems, defined

Event— An occurrence involving the process caused by equipment performance, human action, or by an occurrence external to the risk control system. In Multilinear Event Sequencing (MES) an event is defined as one actor plus one action. 

These information sources can be used independently or in combination. Direct observation includes inspection activities and the monitoring of the work environment (e.g. temperature, dust levels, solvent levels, noise levels) and people s behaviour. Each risk control system should have a built-in monitoring element that will define the frequency of monitoring these can be combined to form a common inspection system. 

Safety culture is the attitudes, beliefs and perceptions shared by natural groups as defining norms and values, which determine how they act and react in relation to risks and risk control systems. 

These requirements define the activities of a designer, manufacturer, and user of a machine, which include performing all the procedures within the risk control systems. This is based on the principle of application of the causal relation of accident or failure occurrence as a part of the risk control systems at all the stages of a machine s technological lifespan.

The lEC 61508 standard defines safety as "freedom from unacceptable risk" (Ref. 1). Functional safety has been defined as "part of the overall safety relating to the process and the Basic Process Control System (BPCS) which depends on the correct functioning of the SIS and other protection layers." The phrase "correct functioning of the SIS" identifies the key concern. A high level of functional safety means that a safety... 

Control System (BPCS), including functions of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, the alarm system (AS) and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) performing defined Safety Instrumented Frmetions (SIF). Proper design of layers of protection is based on hazards analysis and risk assessment with consideration of human and organizational factors. It is essential to ensure required safety integrity level (SIL) for each of these layers. 

Safety, control and adjustment devices contributing towards reliable operation of the apparatuses and protection systems defined above, where there is risk of explosion. 

IFC 61508 Originally functional safety was defined as part of the overall safety relating to the equipment under control (FUC, see Clause 8.1.2), and the EUC control system which depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PE safely-related systems, other technology safety-related systems and external risk reduction facilities. Later came the generalized definition of functional safety, which is part of the overall safety that depends on a system or equipment operating correctly in response to its inputs. Functional safety is achieved when every specified safety... 

FTA was originally developed in 1962 at Bell Laboratories, under a U.S. Air Force Ballistics Systems Division contract to evaluate the Minuteman I Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Launch Control System [2]. This method is widely used in the area of safety engineering, to quantitatively determine the probability of safety in an undesired or accidental event referred to as a top event. With reference to Fig. V/3.0-1A, at the beginning of the chapter the importance of boundaries is discussed. In the figure, there is some gap between the external boundary and actual problem part (actual problem boundary). This is the interface part, and is quite important in any risk analysis. In the case of FTA, it is also important to define limits of resolution. A system is usually divided into subsystems, and in some cases a part may be subdivided into smaller parts. Now, the smallest part determines the limit of resolution and internal boundary. If, in one case, fault level is to be determined up to card level, and in another case it is necessary to determine the fault up to component level, naturally in the latter case, resolution will be higher. Limit of resolution has been shown in Fig. V/3.0-1A. 

The choice of what is appropriate will depend on many factors and the search is to find which level, or which mix, provides the best way of defining and measuring risk control. What are the boundary markers we can most unambiguously define to indicate that the system is moving outside the envelope of control and needs corrective or punitive action ...
