Common Cause Failure – Safety Instrumented System
Safety Instrumented System is to be designed carefully considering common cause failure, and techniques to overcome the problems.
Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is engineered to perform “specific control functions” to failsafe or maintain safe operation of a process when unacceptable or dangerous conditions occur.
