Safety Life Cycle

The safety lifecycle (SLC) contains three main phases - analysis, realization, and operation. It is an engineering process that includes all steps needed to achieve a high level of functional safety during conception, design, operation, and maintenance of instrumentation systems. Following the SLC can help reduce risks in industrial processes by establishing safety requirements after hazard and risk analysis, considering safety measures other than safety instrumented systems, and planning for maintenance and testing during realization and operation. SLC focuses on managing functional safety throughout the entire lifecycle as emphasized in standards like IEC 61511 for process industries.

Three (3) main phases, analysis (scope and hazard review portion), realization (design portion), and

operation.

SLC is an engineering process that contains all steps need to achieve high-level of functional safety
during conception, design, operation, and maintenance of instrument system.

Achieved the SLC can reduce the risk in an industrial process.

Start with the conceptual design of a process, not a SIF.

End up only after SIS is decommissioned.

Safety Requirement for system will be established after hazard and risk analysis is performed.

Some safety requirements are met by external risk reduction i.e. change in process design. (Step-10
in IEC-61508)

Safety-related technology other than as SIS i.e. PSV. (Step-11 in IEC-61508)

Planning for all maintenance, testing must be accomplished in the realization phase.

Operation and maintenance focus on periodic testing, inspection, modification, retrofits, and
decommissioning.

Additional aspect regarding the IEC-61508 is overlapping of realization and operation phase (step-12
– Commissioning)

SLC of IEC 61511 (ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004) was created especially for process industries.

IEC 61511 emphasis on managing functional safety on structure, planning and verification
throughout the entire lifecycle.
Operation phase starts with a pre-startup safety review (PSSR).
