About

The safety case should demonstrate the adequacy of measures the operator will implement to control risks associated with major incidents that may occur. The safety control measures that governed by IEC61511 plays an important role to prevent and mitigate the risk. As part of the safety control measures, functional safety refers to the use of instrumented systems to implement safety functions to achieve risk reduction. Hence, control & instrumentation technical aspects in safety case, is a key elements to be considered by MHIs. IEC61511 is recognised as best practice pertaining to Functional Safety and since the release of IEC61511 edition 2 in 2016. Cyber security assessment will also be discussed and its importance as part of the risk assessment to eliminate catastrophic consequences caused by cyber-attacks.
