On the job

Functional Safety (ISO 13849 & IEC 61511) is the layer above the wrench: architecture, alarm philosophy, functional safety, and the network the PLC actually rides. The test is whether operations can run it and maintenance can find the routine. If the only person who understands the AOI left last quarter, the design was not done.

The useful version of Functional Safety (ISO 13849 & IEC 61511) is the version you can run on nights without a specialist on the radio. Functional safety engineering for machinery and process systems. Covers ISO 13849 (machinery safety) performance levels, IEC 61511 (process SIS) SIL verification, safety function design, validation, and the relationship between the two standards. Keep the as-found. Change one variable. Hand the next crew a log, not a story.

Who it is for

Controls and reliability engineers who still have to ship something a night-shift tech can maintain.

Who it is not for: license mills, VR demos, or anyone looking for a fake testimonial. We do not invent customer quotes. Certificates of completion after quizzes go in the file. They are not a journeyman card, an ISA credential, or NFPA 70E qualification by themselves.
