Agenda
• This presentation explores the specific challenges relating to the application of
Functional Safety to fast developing hazards
• Experience from 6 large FPSO projects over the past 2 years
• For some high pressure hazards where the initiating event is human error, it
may not be possible to design a reactive SIF to perform its function quickly
enough.
• A variety of solutions can be applied, including the implementation of Inhibit
SIFs, which present their own particular challenges.
• Particular focus on the riser de-packing hazard and its specific challenges.
