Hi All - Systems that pre date 61508
Hi all thanks for the add, this looks like a really good way to share experience in the functional safety world. Thanks for setting up Richard. I have a question for you all on the requirements when adding a new SIF to an existing SIL2 system that was designed over 40 years ago and was never designed to 61508. What things would we consider to make this possible without a full system redesign.

Hey. You said it pre dates 61508 so I’m assuming this safety function was never targeted. Does that mean when you done your risk assessment, you included it as an existing control measure or did you ignore it to see the gap then defined it as a sil 2 requirement? Did you take this to LOPA or RG. I’m interested as going through a process now on some plant from the 80s identifying the safety functions and then determining what target is required.

@Dan Russell I’m in the chemical industry so we follow en 61511. As your in nuclear I’m guessing you follow 61513.
Something I've been sitting on for a while — and I've finally decided to do it. 👇
Something I've been sitting on for a while — and I've finally decided to do it. 👇 A few days ago I mentioned I was thinking about building a training programme for certified functional safety engineers who want to move into nuclear. The response told me everything I needed to know. So here it is. Get Into Nuclear — Functional Safety Practitioner Programme. An 8-week live online programme built around ONR guidance and nuclear-specific standards. Weekly group calls. A real case study with personal feedback. Post-placement mentoring when you land your first nuclear role. There is nothing else like this. I've looked. Because you were here before this existed — you get first access. I'm giving away 2 free places before I open this to anyone else. To enter: ✅ Comment "I'm in" below and tell me: what is the single biggest thing stopping you from applying for nuclear functional safety roles right now? Winner announced in 3 days. Head to the Classroom to see exactly what is inside 👉 Get Into Nuclear — Functional Safety Practitioner Programme

I’m in. It’s a fascinating industry. I would love to get into but have no experience in the sector from a process point only machinery.
