Full presentation title: Revised guidance on competence for safety related systems practitioners. The new Code of Practice from the IET
* Competence concepts, competence models and competence management
* Using criteria to specify, assess and improve the competence of people and teams working on safety-related systems
* Compliance with legal, regulatory and standards requirements for safety competence
Industry increasingly relies upon safety systems to maintain and protect operating assets.
Systems comprised of electrical or electronic elements have been widely used to perform safety functions in most application sectors.
The oil and gas industry, nuclear plants, and transport sector, to name but a few, all rely heavily on functional safety.
The functional safety compliance requirements of IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 and other standards covering safety-related systems are increasingly being specified in procurement specifications in a wide range of sectors and increasingly diverse applications.
The standards are also being used not just for functional safety but also for asset protection.
Allied to the need to have adequate levels of functional safety to meet safety / environment risks is the need to ensure that safety-related systems are properly protected against cyber-attacks. The latter is becoming increasingly important, hence a Workshop on Cyber Security for Safety Critical Systems this year.
