Next week (Wednesday, November 5th) I have the honor of delivering a 45 minute presentation at the exiderdome in New York City.  If you haven’t heard, or don’t know what exiderdome is, then check it out at www.sea.siemens.com/exiderdome the short of it, well it’s my companies corporate marketing extravaganza geared for the automation industry.  If that’s not clear, then check out the website.

After securing the coveted, 4:15pm – 5pm timeslot, my next challenge was figuring out what to cover that would keep folks enlightened, entertained and of course awake.  That’s where I came up with the clever them of “Let’s talk about SIX”, meaning of course, answering six of the most commonly misunderstood issues around process safety. 

I invite anyone out there who wants to know the story behind any of these "SIX" important process safety topics to come join me next Wednesday, at exiderdome New York City.

1. What is the Safety Lifecycle?
2. How integrated can my safety and control system be?
3. How much redundancy is required for achieving my safety requirements?
4. How much safety (SIL) do I really needed?
5. Can I safety perform “On line changes” to my safety system?
6. How do I Calculate SIL levels?

And please let me know if you have any other questions you’d like me to answer as well at the next exiderdome.
