4. Evaluate the performance of safety barriers
In order to prevent, detect and protect against major and dreaded events (EM and ER), safety functions are required. For example, the safety functions "detect fire" and "control fire" are associated with the major event "widespread fire".
Safety targets are associated with each safety function, and these can be quantified, for example, by an implementation time, or thresholds (pressure, temperature, etc.), which must not be exceeded.
4.1 How can you be sure that a safety gate is fulfilling the function for which it was chosen?
The aim is to be able to check that it complies with the expected characteristics/performance in terms of efficiency, safety level and response time (applies above all to BTS). These expectations concern the...
