Finding logic in safety instrumented systems

Industrial process industry is experiencing a dynamic growth in functional process safety applications.

Much of this growth comes from increased awareness of destruction of property, injuries and loss of life associated with tragic events that garner attention across the globe.

In addition, companies have a moral and legal obligation to limit risk posed by their operations.
