Premium Membership — Functional Safety Tools & Peer Review
The Problem Most functional safety engineers eventually face project decisions where the standards don’t give a clear answer. Legacy systems. Architectural constraints. Incomplete failure data. Conflicting guidance between IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. Those decisions often get made alone. What Premium Members Get Premium membership is designed for engineers working through real project scenarios. Members receive access to: Peer Decision Review Sessions Fortnightly live sessions where members bring real engineering scenarios and work through the decision with experienced functional safety practitioners. Functional Safety Template Library A complete set of project-ready templates aligned with IEC 61511. Built for engineers delivering real safety lifecycle documentation. Engineering Tools Tools designed specifically for functional safety work including the SILVerify software and practical calculation resources. Founding Member Pricing Because the community is still growing, founding members can lock in the current price permanently. As the library grows and new tools are added, the price will increase. Founding members keep their original price. Upgrade now

Start Here: Welcome to the Functional Safety Playbook 🎯
Glad you're here. This is a community for functional safety engineers who are tired of making hard project decisions alone. The grey areas in IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 rarely come with clear answers — just pressure. This is where we work through those problems together. How to Get Started 1️⃣ Explore the Classroom 📚 Head to the Classroom and start exploring the resources. You'll find: • Case studies from real projects • Functional safety tools and templates • Practical guidance for project engineers Everything is designed to be useful on a live project — not just theory. 2️⃣ Join the Discussions 💬 Browse the community feed. Ask a question, share a scenario, or jump into an existing discussion. This is where engineers talk through real project problems and grey areas. 3️⃣ Upgrade to Premium 🔍 Premium members unlock: • Peer Decision Review sessions (fortnightly live discussions) • Workshops and deep-dive sessions • The full classroom resource library If you're regularly dealing with difficult engineering judgement calls, this is where the real value sits. A quick note from me I'm building the Playbook live. New tools, resources and sessions will be added regularly over the coming months. If you're here early, you'll see it grow from the beginning. 🔒 Founding Member Opportunity Right now you can lock in founding member pricing. That gives you access to all future premium content at today's price — permanently. As the library grows, the price will increase. Founding members never pay more. Introduce Yourself 👇 Drop a comment and tell us: • Where you're based • What sector you work in • One challenge you're currently dealing with Looking forward to getting to know everyone here. — Richie

🚨 SILVerify is now LIVE
Here’s everything that’s included: ✅ SILVerify — full access to the SIL verification software I built. Complete three-barrier IEC 61508 hardware SIL verification. PFDavg, architectural constraint (Route 1H), systematic capability. Professional Word report generated automatically. Built by a functional safety consultant, validated against IEC 61508-6 Annex B. — Before you upgrade, go to the free SILVerify classroom and have a look at: 📄 The User Guide — full walkthrough of SILVerify with a worked example 📋 The Sample Report — an actual output from the tool. Judge it for yourself. 🎥 Video walkthrough — coming very soon — Founder pricing is $30/month. This price exists because the community is early and I want the people who get in now to benefit from that. When it goes up — and it will — anyone already on $30 stays on $30. I won’t be announcing when the price changes. If you have questions before upgrading, post them below. Happy to answer anything. 👉 I'll be sending out login details to existing premium members over the course of the day - please bear with me

Mission Time
Hi all, thanks for accepting. First of all, I am new in functional safety and sorry for my bad english😊. Actually I have some doubt about one of variable in PFDavg calculation namely mission time, couple of question to all: 1. What will happen in the end of mission time?should end user decommissioned the plant?or just replace everything and the mission time will get restarted? 2. If it depend on end user, than based on what consideration usually for them to determine the correct mission time?and what is the reason behind that? 3. Since by the time PFDavg will get derated, and SIL claimed may decreased over the time, shouldn't end user decide to set the mission time before the SIL/RRF drops beyond the rating it should be? Hope you guys can share your knowledge. Thanks,
T6A Symposium 2026
Good Morning All, Just to let you know the 61508 Association are holding a conference in York on November 25th this year. The event is free to join and looks to include a very good agenda regarding Functional Safety Compliance. I have attached the flyer for those that are interested 🙂
