Functional Safety Definition

•

Random hardware faults, systematic design errors or human mistakes shall not result in a malfunction of a safety related system with the potential consequence of: –

Injury or death of humans or

–

Hazards to the environment or

–

Main Goal: Keep People Safe

What are Hazards on a Machine or Process?

•

Physical

– Falling / Moving Objects – Collisions – Collapsing Structures • Chemical – – – – – Explosion Fire Toxic Material Release Wrong mix of chemicals Radiation • Electrical – – – Flashover and Burns Electrocution Wrong Connection / Loose Connection • Mechanical / Process – – – – – Pinch Points or Entanglement Abrasion, Grinding, Cutting Thermal Pressure Releasing Effects (Bursting Vessels, Jets of Gas or Liquids) Welding Torches, Gases etc.

Hazards are physical objects or chemical substances that have the potential for causing harm to people, property or the environment

If there are hazards ... there must be Risk Reduction

• • • Functional safety is based on the concept of Risk Reduction A Risk Assessment is performed to quantify the hazards on a machine For each hazard, risk is reduced by adding layers of protection

Unprotected Risk Risk Reduction #1 Design Hazard Out of Machine Risk Reduction #2 Implement Safety Guarding Lower Risk Lower Risk

Layers of Protection

Risk Reduction #3 Training on Safe Operating Procedures Tolerable Risk

How Often?

Risk – Same Hazard / Different Locations

Identical process incidents pose more risk in a populated area than in an unpopulated area

+ = +

• • •

Tolerable Risk

Practically impossible to drive risk to zero At some point we are willing to accept the amount risk posed of This point is referred to as tolerable risk Copyright © 2006 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Risk Estimation

• A common way to quantify the amount of risk to be reduced is to use a Risk Graph

Start

Consequence of Unwanted event Frequency of Unwanted event Possibility to avoid unwanted event Minor injury Very Small Probability of Unwanted event Small Relatively High Serious injury or single death Exposure to hazard is rare Possible under right circumstances Almost Impossible Possible under right circumstances Exposure to hazard is frequent Almost Impossible Exposure to hazard is rare Death of several persons Exposure to hazard is frequent Death of many people Copyright © 2006 Rockwell Automation, Inc.

What is the function of a Safety System?

•

The

Function

of a

safety system

is to

monitor and control

conditions on a machine or process that are

hazardous

in themselves or, if no action were taken, may give rise to hazardous situations

•

The Safety System runs in parallel with the Production System – Focus of Production System is

throughput

– Focus of Safety System is

protection

Control System Operating Equipment Safety System

Safety is a System View ...

Sensors (e.g. Door Interlock) Sensors (e.g. E-Stop) Sensors (e.g. Speed Reference) Logic Solver (e.g. Safety Relay or PLC) Actuator(s) (e.g. Motor) Actuator(s) (e.g. clamp) • • • • • Main Goals Improve Safety Simplify LOTO Improve MTTR Increase Machine Availability Improve Cost of Doing Business • • • Each hazard on a machine will consist of one or more “safety loops” that monitor and control its supply of energy – As determined by the risk assessment Each safety product must be applied as part of a whole to effectively reduce risk – Safety is the sum of its parts and safety is only as good as its weakest link The complexity of the inputs (sensors) and outputs (actuators) and the flexibility of the control will determine the type of logic solver – Stand-alone relay, modular relay or safety PLC Copyright © 2006 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Key Takeaways

• • • • • A safety system is only as effective as it’s weakest link.

– You need to consider all aspects of the system (input, control, output) and how they work together to meet current safety standards.

Safety is about assessing the danger presented by machine hazards and designing solutions to reduce the possibility of a dangerous failure – Risk reduction with a goal of eliminating the risk or reducing it within reason (tolerable risk) You should follow a process for developing, deploying and maintaining safety solutions – Consider using the Safety Lifecycle as a model Your primary goal for safety is to protect employee health and safety while maintaining or increasing productivity.

The Government (OSHA, NFPA,Other) is not responsible for safety systems ... You are! The government will only enforce regulations.

Why Safety?

• • • • • • • Is Safety New? - NO Is Safety Important? - YES Who is Responsible? - EVERYONE Are Safety and Productivity initiatives ever at odds?

Are Safety Systems or Procedures Ever Bypassed?

Are people ever injured in manufacturing machinery accidents?

Goals: Integrated Controls Solutions that are safer AND more productive BY DESIGN.

Safety Thinking is Evolving

Safety - Continuous Changes

• • • • •

New Manufacturing Processes New Design Processes New Operating Procedures New Standards and Specifications New Safety Technologies •

New System Design Philosophies

Safety Specifications and Technologies Evolving

Challenging Conventions

• • Consumer Safety Culture – Expectations of populace – just look at cars!

Manufacturing Safety Culture – – Safety makes things STOP, not GO Safety costs $$$!!

– – – Safety by luck - “We are safe” (repeat 1000 times) Changes introduce risks  NOTHING HAPPENS Typical approach is REACTIVE • An injury results in the application of a few “widgets” • Incomplete, high variation, inconsistent – not good!

• Manufacturers exposed to increased liability

Safety is not an Accident

Safety Drivers

• • • • Global Standardization and Specification Costs of non-compliance – Insurance, OSHA violations, employee turnover, workers comp., litigation, etc.

“Soft” measure for Wall St.

– Turnover, “Best Place to Work,” Insurance costs, Injury Rates Rallying point for labor organization

Safety has a Broad Reach

Where is Your Company?

• • • • •

Reactive or Proactive?

Safety philosophy driven from top down – Safety credo, specifications, etc.

Safety driven from the bottom up – Safety addressed on a case-by-case basis (injury by injury!) Are formal Risk Assessments being performed?

Is safety Designed In or Added On?

What is Your Company Culture?

Modern Safety Thinking

• • • • It’s a Culture; It’s a Process; It’s a design Philosophy It is a combination of people systems (procedures) and technologies (components, circuits) It is a systematic approach – Not a component approach!!!

– Machine Safety is like an anchor chain – only as strong as the weakest link.

It is a lifecycle – from system concept, through Risk Assessment, Design, Build, Start-Up, Validation, Operations and Decommissioning

Safety Specifications drive the Safety Lifecycle

Safety – the Bigger Picture

•

Safety Impacts: – Floor space/Footprint via performance (Safe Distance) – • Big money!! Direct Labor Content and Operator Efficiencies • HUGE money!!

– Ergonomics – Productivity (System Design considerations) – Insurance Costs, Cost of Doing Business – Employee Morale, Company Goodwill, Labor Relations

Safety is Good Business!

Safety – Do we have a Problem?

• • Are Safety Procedures Ever Bypassed?

– – Do People take the “Short Cut” to expedite maintenance procedures?

Is LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) always followed?

Are Safety Systems or Technologies ever Bypassed?

– Are people using a “Cheater Key”?

– Note: Some systems are so poorly designed and integrated that maintenance people are forced to bypass the safety system just to get their jobs done!

Safety must be Easy and Intuitive

Safety System Design Concepts

• • • Passive System Design – Ensures the easy way is the safe way Configurable System Design – – Ensures the necessary functionality to accommodate maintenance procedures without bypassing the safety system.

This approach will help to limit exposure to hazards while expediting maintenance procedures and reducing MTTR.

Lockable Safety Systems

Easy, Intuitive and Secure

Safety Application - Perimeter Guarding Example

• • • • • Application of safety technology based upon the Risk Assessment.

– Cross functional team including Operators, Skilled Trades, Engineers, etc.

System is configured to control and manage exposure to the hazards within the work cell.

– Gate Box approach – Trapped key approach Passive System Function Lockable May provide “Point of Operation” control via “Enable” pendant.

Passive, Configurable, Lockable

Improved Productivity via Safety System Design Typical Downtime Event OK Down OK MTTR = 12 minutes

Improved Productivity via Safety System Design

• • • • If the safety system design meets target safety level, the safety system may be used in lieu of LOTO, reducing MTTR by ~3 minutes.

Manufacturer’s value of 1 minute of production = $12K Average downtime events per plant per year = 3000 Value of safety solution due to improved productivity (via reduced MTTR) = $12K X 3 X 3000 = $108M/yr

Safety = Productivity = Profitability

Summary

• • • • • • • Safety is a shared responsibility – we are all stakeholders! Every manufacturer must provide for a safe work environment.

Well designed systems improve both Safety and Productivity.

Safety is a System Solution – not just components.

– Integrated into the control, information and people systems Safety is Specification Based.

Leverage Internal and External application knowledge and expertise – Maintenance, Engineering, Operations, Suppliers Single source full service safety supplier can help with comprehensive safety solutions.

What Makes a Product Safe?

• Important Concept “What makes a product safe is that it is designed using safety principles and complies with recognized safety standards” • What are the principles common in products designed for safety?

– The Three D’s of Safety

– Duality, Diversity, Diagnostics

– – All safety products are designed using a combination of the Three D’s The Three D’s are used so the system will react properly when a fault occurs (e.g. turn off outputs) Copyright © 2006 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

The “Three D’s” of Safety

• Duality

(Also known as Redundancy)

– – If one thing fails, there is another thing that can bring the system to a safe state In parallel for Inputs or in series for Outputs •

Diversity

– – – Protects against two things failing in exactly the same way at the same time Example: Using one NO and one NC set of contacts Example: Using both a high and a low input channel to a safety device •

Diagnostics

– – – Safety products spend much of their time performing self-diagnostics If a problem is detected, the system will go to its “safe state” and will not allow the system to be restarted until the problem is fixed Example: A safety PLC has a significantly higher degree of self-diagnostic versus a standard PLC (> 90% vs. ≈ 50%)

Two of the three methods mentioned above must be implemented to achieve Category 4 / SIL 3

What Makes Safety Components Safe?

• • • •

Direct Driven Contacts

– Actuating force drives contacts open (breaks welds). – These are the type of contacts that are in Safety Interlock Switches. – Does not rely on a spring to open contacts such as a Limit switch.

Mechanically Linked

– Linked means that if one contact welds, all contacts stay closed – for monitoring!

– These types of contacts are found in Safety Contactors and relays to detect faults.

Redundant Contacts

– Redundant contacts act as a back-up to each other in case a contact were to fail. This provides a higher degree of reliability – Example: Two normally closed, (1) N.O. and (1) N.C., or (2) PNP outputs

Tamper Resistance

– Features designed into safety components inherently make the device more safe. – EXAMPLE: Coded magnetic safety switches Symbol Found on Switch

Welded contact is forced open when actuator is removed

How do I Know a Product is Safe?

• All safety rated products are developed to meet specific standards for safety – – – EN 954-1 (Safety Categories) IEC 61508 (Safety Integrity Levels for Programmable Safety Systems) EN 1088 (Safety Interlocks) • Most safety rated products are certified by professional 3 rd demonstrate compliance to specific safety standards party organizations to – Examples of third party certification organizations include TUV Rheinland, TUV Nord and BG Copyright © 2006 Rockwell Automation, Inc.
