Potential of “Big Data” for Safety
Industry is assessing the potential for Big Data & The Cloud in the
following areas:-
•
Plant reliability and Asset Integrity
•
Steady state process control
•
Process Optimisation
•
Accident Investigation
•
Combining information from different silos (plants, sites,
companies etc) for the purposes of KPIs for process safety
•
Using data from the BPCS and SIS maintenance tools and
incidents to promote process safety awareness.

Summary
•
To achieve Safety Integrity we must achieve both Hardware Safety
Integrity
and
Systematic Safety Integrity
•
The term “Systematic Capability” is a useful addition to our safety
vocabulary in helping quantify systematic safety integrity.
•
Systematic Capability must be considered as part of device selection.
•
Take full advantage of available system ‘features’ to help control & avoid
systematic failures
•
Industry trend toward Digitalisation may help control and avoid
systematic failures and contribute to safety
