It is our pleasure to announce that we will be hosting a range of exida FSE courses at our global HQ in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. Micropack and exida have long standing partnership, working together to develop and deliver the Fire and Gas Practitioner training programme.
The following FSE courses will be delivered at Micropack as detailed below:
FSE 100 - Functional Safety Analysis, Design, and Operation
http://www.exida.com/Training/Course/IEC-61511-Functional-Safety-Analysis-Design-and-Operation
Course Description:
Looking to become a CFSE or CFSP? This is the course you'll need to pass the exam!
Also known as FSE 100, this course provides an overview of process industry safety engineering from the point of view of the Risk Analyst, Process Safety Coordinator, and Control Systems Design Engineer.
It delivers a complete overview of the functional safety lifecycle. The course reviews Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Consequence Analysis, Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Target Selection, Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) generation, failure rates, device and system reliability, SIF verification, SIF detailed design and Operations requirements.
This course forms a broad review in preparation for the Certified Functional Safety Expert (CFSE) and Certified Functional Safety Professional (CFSP) process industry application engineering exams.

Pre-Register for FSE 100 - IEC 61511: Functional Safety Analysis, Design, and Operation.
FSE 104 - Applying IEC 61511 to Burner Management Systems (BMS) Course
Course Description:
This course provides an overview on how to implement a performance based Burner Management System (BMS) and move away from the constraints of a prescription based standard for safety function design, especially when waste fuels are introduced into boilers or process heaters. The IEC 61511 standard is the functional safety standard specific to the Process Industry sector. This standard introduces a safety lifecycle concept which is a structured engineering process to ensure functional safety is achieved in a plant. The standard also focuses on evaluation of process risk and required risk reduction, if necessary. The safety lifecycle approach to BMS will address any deficiencies in design, testing, documentation, maintenance or modification requirements.
Skills You Will Learn:
-
Understand the need for a IEC 61511 compliant BMS
-
Understand the hazards of combustion
-
Understand risk reduction for the combustion hazards
-
Develop an understanding of NFPA, ISA and IEC standards and their requirements for BMS
-
Identify Safeguards and Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) for combustion systems
-
Practical Implementation of an IEC 61511 compliant BMS safety system
Course Topics:
-
Purpose of Burner Management Systems
-
Overview of combustion equipment
-
Causes of Furnace explosions
