Overview

Automation projects are complex, fast-moving, and deeply human—and that means mistakes happen. Some are harmless. Others quietly erode or even defeat your protection layers, at startup or years later.

That’s where cold eyes matter.

Functional Safety Assessments (FSAs) bring in independent, experienced reviewers to spot the dangerous oversights others miss—verifying that instrumented protection layers and their documentation truly do what they claim. Ongoing assessments then confirm those layers continue to perform as designed throughout the lifecycle.

Drawing on nearly 35 years in industry and more than a decade leading FSAs, Eloise Roche shares practical, hard-won insights on how to plan, scope, and execute assessments that are efficient, effective, and defensible—without unnecessary pain.

Overview

Functional safety planning is more than a compliance exercise—it is the blueprint for protecting people, assets, and operations throughout the lifecycle of an instrumented protective system (IPS).  A well-crafted functional safety plan lays the groundwork for effective risk management, clear accountability, and successful execution of IPS projects.

In this session, Eloise Roche distills 35 years of process industry experience into the three key safety planning activities that can help any facility more reliably transform high-level functional safety objectives into measurable outcomes.
