The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Arab cities.
• 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in European and Asian cities.

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.

Course Introduction:

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) are critical components in industrial operations to prevent hazardous incidents, protect personnel, and ensure compliance with international safety standards. Effective management of these systems enhances reliability and mitigates risks in high-risk environments such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation industries.

This training program provides professionals with in-depth knowledge of safety instrumentation principles, emergency shutdown system design, functional safety standards, and best practices for maintenance and testing. Participants will gain practical expertise through real-world case studies, hands-on exercises, and system simulations.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD).
• Apply international safety standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511, and ANSI/ISA 84.
• Identify hazards and conduct risk assessments for safety instrumentation.
• Design, implement, and test emergency shutdown systems.
• Develop best practices for functional safety lifecycle management.
• Optimize maintenance strategies for safety instrumentation and shutdown systems.

• Safety and Instrumentation Engineers
• Process Control and Automation Engineers
• Maintenance and Reliability Professionals
• HSE and Risk Management Personnel
• Plant Managers and Supervisors
• Professionals involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of industrial safety systems

The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development is committed to hosting all training programs in dedicated and well-equipped hotel facilities specifically designed for conducting and delivering training sessions, unless explicitly stated otherwise on our website. Participants will be notified of the program venue within 7 to 21 days prior to the programs start date, based on the Academys assessment and the programs circumstances. The Academy emphasizes that it holds no responsibility for any force majeure events that may prevent the program from being held at the designated venue. Nevertheless, the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development will make every effort to provide suitable alternatives and extend the necessary support to participants in the event of a venue change due to unforeseen circumstances.
