Functional Safety - Essentials Training Course

Although functional safety has been recognized for some time – with standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 (introduced in 2011 for automotive applications) – it remains uncharted territory for many companies:

• Products may suddenly acquire a safety-related classification (e.g., ASIL) due to evolving operational conditions.
• Fundamental principles are continually debated within the organization, indicating that functional safety has not yet been fully embedded.

Our Functional Safety Essentials training provides you with a solid understanding of the core principles that underpin functional safety. We explain what really holds this approach together and why it is so crucial today.

Drawing on extensive hands-on experience from real-world customer projects, including assessments, audits, and successful implementations, we guide you through the subject step by step. Gain comprehensive insights and practical know-how that you can immediately apply within your own organization.

• Clear, standard-independent understanding of the key principles behind functional safety – applicable across industries.
• Interactive group sessions to collaboratively explore and internalize the concepts.
• Practical insights through numerous real-world examples that illustrate how functional safety “thinks” and operates.
• Simplified access to the ISO 26262 standard series – demystified and made approachable for everyone
