About the Event

This one day introduction is suitable for any stakeholder involved in or with functional safety and SIL. It is our objective to give you a good introduction to functional safety without going into the technical details but with enough information for you to understand what SIL and functional safety means and how it affects your work, your products and services and your company. After this introduction you will be knowledgeable enough to understand whether SIL is for you or not. If the answer is yes then you will know how it affects you and in which direction you need to go to successfully implement SIL and functional safety.

What others have to say

“I have seen Mr Michel as a "GURU" - an undisputed authority in the field of Functional Safety. I had the opportunity to get trained under him & found him to be highly meticulous in explaining the concepts of Functional Safety. He comes with a pleasing personality & is highly approacheable. He has vast knowledge of Functional Safety - LOPA Calculations, SIL ratings, HAZOP studies, FMEA, what if analysis etc which are the need of the hour in the area of Functional Safety, Safety Instrumented Systems. I have benefitted very much from his teachings & i highly recommend every organization - esp Oil & Gas domain End Users, Oil & Gas Engineering Consulting Companies to utilize his services not only for the training purposes, but also to utilize him as a functional consultant in the field of Functional Safety.” - M R K S Sastry

“I attended the TUV certified training program on Functional Safety arranged in Abu Dhabi by Risknowlogy conducted by Dr. Michel. The training was immensely useful and gave me new insights into the field of SIL and Reliability. The training program is very well developed and includes several workshops and illustrations. The course literature is a good reference and can be used during project execution. Dr. Michel is an expert in the field of SIL and Reliability and it was a very enriching experience interacting with him. I have started following the papers and literatures published by Dr. Michel in the magazine - "Inside Functional Safety", which provides practical know-how in this field. I look forward to applying the newly acquired concepts into QRAs and other safety studies.” - Amey Kulkarni
