Course description
Whether you are new to functional safety management or not, you might ask yourself:
- How do I know what needs to be managed?
- How do I know which work we need to do?
- How do I know who should do this work?
- How do I make sure we don't make mistakes?
- What do we need to document?
- Do we need special procedures?
FSM is not a technique or a single step that you will have to do. FSM is not a bunch of checklists or a software program you run. FSM is a way of life, how you run your company. FSM deals with your employees, contractors, suppliers and even your clients directly or indirectly involved in SIL projects.
In this course, we teach you the core concepts of functional safety management and how they affect you, your projects, your products and services, and your company. After understanding the core concepts, you can implement them on your own, within your company and apply them to your job and projects. Please enjoy the ride.

"We got a very good participation from R&D and product management functions in this training, which is very good. My impression was that many participants were happy about the session and got new viewpoints to the subject. That was my main objective for this training and I think we reached the goal." - A. Aravo
"Thank you for this educational training. Especially the knowledge I received on Functional Safety Management." - P. Houtvast
"I loved the FSM course. Mainly, because, though I have 15 yrs of prime experience in this field of process safety, and I had used IEC code’s for the matter of SIL determination, I have never seemed to understand the core concepts, and especially the difference between verification, validation, assessment, audit. I would recommend this course for all managers and professionals involved in functional safety and SIL." - Rahul P.
