Maintenance Technology September 2016 - 30 SAFETY STRATEGIES of homegrown tools that involve timeconsuming manual inspection of results from manpower-intensive tests. In the process, regular cycles of validation and verification and labor-intensive manual work, whether needed or not, have helped generate the previously referenced hidden costs. For example, in the case of processsafety equipment that has been observed to function well on actual process demand, the test-interval timer can be reset, leading to available discount on the otherwise fixed-test interval. Yet, this benefit can't be captured without the necessary structured documentation of proven good function. The general result from "own-built" approaches, Millette laments, has been the emergence of countless tools that are used with little consistency throughout industry. Consider variations, from one person to the next, in the manual review of results, which can then lead to variability in the quality of the analysis itself. Even worse, "Due to the drudgery of observing long lists of events from logs, Sequence of Event Recorders, Safety Historian functionality of SIS/ESD systems or even of consolidated process and safety-event journals," Millette writes, "the task of such review has often been handed to more junior engineers. This may result in a less experienced or critical eye taken to manual review of event journals." A structured approach to this task, he continues, can provide significant savings by better targeting a site's validation and verification efforts. For example, where verification is an immediate pre-startup, critical-path activity in planned shutdowns, it's possible to shorten the duration of such events. Reduced downtime, expressed as less deferred or lost production, can be a significant benefit as well. When an unplanned shutdown of part or all of a process area occurs, the urgent action is to understand the cause and quickly see if the cause can reoccur. If, for example, it is momentary (high or low value to process variation Performance Lubricants Krytox™ lubricants will: * Ensure machinery runs quieter and wears less * Reduce rusting as well as extend equipment and component life * Protect under high loads * Prevent metal-to-metal contact Krytox™ is chemically inert; safe for use with acids, bases or other harsh chemicals and reactive gases.

The question, according to Millette, then becomes, "Can we check the actual cause; did everything happen as it should with the expected effects and with expected timing?" Manually checking the Sequence of Events or other related event logs might then be conducted. But that checking may not flag what is not in the log as "missing events" unless the engineer has expert knowledge of the specific sequences. Moreover, related causes, logical relationships to other effects, or sub-shutdown levels, may not show up in a manual analysis-or, at least, they'll take considerable time to discover and may require expert eyes. The ability to receive an automated analysis of how the shutdown occurred and whether all resultant elements performed as expected can provide some critical time saving and relief to detailed searches across multiple systems. Millette references a number of ways this type of automated validation, verification, and documentation directly supports the process-safety management function. Among them: ■ A stored reference cause and effect, with all relevant event signatures, timings, and relationships, acts as the documented, "as-expected" base. ■ Events captured from Level 2 control or safety system event journals form the basis of the as-is case to be validated. ■ The automated analysis then carries out the needed, sequential comparison between the set of logical relationships stored, the event signatures with those observed from the captured event journals.
