Site Safety Index™ Impact on Failure Rates and PFDavg

Recording Date: December 2015

Several field failure studies, have shown that failure rates for the same product vary from site to site. The ratio ranged from 1.2X to 2X based on data to date. Therefore we conclude that random failures can be divided in to two categories – product specific and site specific. The differences seem to be related to site variables that some have called “Safety Culture.” exida defines this variable as the “Site Safety Index (SSI).” This webinar will provide an overview of the impact of SSI on random failure rates, realistic PFDavg calculations, and the impact of a good safety culture on life cycle cost.
