Safety Instrumented Systems

A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is only as strong as its weakest link, and companies around the globe are awakening to the fact that providing a safe working environment is no longer a judgment call by management, but it is strictly required. Improper choices of equipment, poor design, faulty hardware or software configuration, improper installation, flawed testing procedures and inadequate operator training each can contribute to excessive cost, inadequate safety or excessive nuisance failures.

New England Controls Automation Services Team can help you design the proper SIS system. Our in-depth, cross-divisional knowledge of field devices, logic solvers and final control devices, as well as our ability to properly integrate them into a safe and reliable system, makes us a unique resource in helping you design and implementation of your SIS system.

Our Automation Engineering Services can help you modify your process safety management programs to address SIS, such as additions to process safety information, process hazards analysis, operating procedures, and mechanical integrity. We can also help to establish SIS Safety Requirements Specifications and assist in developing procedures for SIS installation, commissioning, testing, operation, maintenance and change reviews.
