Construction Accidents – Managing the Risks
The construction industry has had a disproportionately high rate of accidents for its size. According to Department of Labor (DOL) 2006 statistics, construction accounted for 7% of the U.S. workforce, but claimed 21% of all occupational fatalities and 10% of all disabling occupational injuries.
NIOSH, the National Institute for Safety and Health released statistics showing that one of every five workplace fatalities in the U.S. is a construction worker. Since construction workers handle dangerous equipment and situations on a daily basis, these accident statistics may not come as a surprise.
In 2006, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation received reports on 10,055 construction-related injuries. Despite extensive federal and state regulations designed to maintain safe worksites, 21 construction workers suffered fatal injuries in 2006 in Pennsylvania, an increase from 14 fatalities of the previous year.
This presentation will review root causes of construction accidents, OSHA’s role of “the work place safety gatekeeper” and the various duties of care for contractors and sub contractors. Identification of hazard factors affecting managing safety in assembly, erection, excavation and demolition operations in order to analyze their effect to the risk of accident occurrence.
Additionally the design professional’s opportunity and obligation to design for safety will be reviewed.
This presentation will demonstrate by review of case histories how risks can be managed and if not what liabilities can be incurred.
Evolution of protective systems in petro chemGlen Alleman
Electrical protective or emergency shutdown systems are utilized
throughout the petrochemical industry for safety and to avoid severe environmental and/or economic events. Requirements
fur these critical systems are that they work every time, on demand, and do not initiate nuisance events. These requirements were difficult to achieve in most early systems but the systems have improved over the years. Emergency shutdown system design has been unregulated in the U.S., but new standards will require strict guidelines for design, application, docllmentation, and software testing and control.
Impacts of integrated safety on machine and plant conceptsNinad Deshpande
The world is now moving on to integrated safety which integrates safe and standard data on a common network. Even in a decentralized architecture, communication is possible over a single bus, thus harvesting the benefits of integrated safety.
In plants users have machines from different vendors communicating on different fieldbuses. These fieldbuses need different safety protocols. These safety standards are proprietary and not compatible with one another. openSAFETY is the only open source and fieldbus independent safety protocol.

Asset Utilization Metrics Propel a Revival in Safety Solutions
Health and safety in the workplace has not always been a primary consideration
in manufacturing environments. However, there is a renewed
interest in safety emanating from Europe, highlighted by the European
Norm standard EN 954-1, which is garnering interest
in Japan and North America. Safety
technology has progressed considerably since the
first emergency stop relay appeared on the market,
and the future will bring new developments
to this technology. Improvement in the implementation
of current safety standards is mutually
beneficial for the protection of both man and machine
with the reduction of workplace accidents, lost output, damage to
machinery, and insurance premiums while resulting in an increase in Overall
Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Manufacturers are currently reevaluating
the safety aspects of their machines and devices so as to provide
the safest possible workplace environment.
A new generation of safety solutions have
emerged that are more effective in
preventing accidents, less costly to
implement, more easily to adapt, more
reliable than existing hard wired systems,
and results in an increase in Overall
Equipment Effectiveness.

However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

2. emergency shutdown systems solutions
Triconex emergency ShuTdown SySTemS
Triconex® is the world’s leading supplier of safety and critical control systems. Our Emergency Shutdown (ESD)
Systems are found in a wide variety of industries protecting personnel, equipment, and the environment.
why iS a reliable eSd SySTem ViTal?
Government regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as insurance companies, place the highest criteria on the safety
of company personnel, communities, and the environment. Consequently, they require companies to perform
process hazards analyses to determine the measures necessary for maximum safety.
Although safety is of primary concern, in today’s environment it is also important to have an ESD system designed
for availability. The economic impact of a spurious or nuisance trip of an ESD system can be disastrous. Unlike
a process control system, which is designed to control process variables, an ESD system represents a layer of
protection that mitigates and prevents a hazardous situation from occurring. An ESD system must be extremely
reliable and function on demand. During an emergency, it must shutdown the process in a safe and orderly fashion.
When selecting or replacing an ESD system,
consider the following:
• Is it more cost-effective to run and maintain than
your current system?
• Does it comply with current government
regulations and industry standards?
• What would it cost your company if inferior
technology causes a shutdown of your operation?
• Can you, with conviction, say that your
employees, equipment, and the environment will
be protected in the event of an emergency?
• What litigation costs could you incur in the event
of an accident due to the use of inadequate
safety technology?
Internationally recognized standards such as ANSI/
ISA S84.01 and IEC 61508 serve as guidelines
to insure proper instrumentation is in place to
mitigate or avoid hazardous situations. In order to
meet these requirements, exceptional equipment
availability, reliability, experience, and record of
accomplishment are required, a combination only
Triconex technology can provide. By choosing
Triconex safety systems, you will receive a solution,
which ensures that no single point of failure will
cause a nuisance trip or unwanted shutdown.
3. unprecedenTed experience and Knowledge
Triconex has more than 8,000 safety and critical control installations worldwide with more than 500 millions
hours of safe operation. Our unsurpassed experience and knowledge provides your plant with the safest and
most reliable solution available.
Triconex actively participates and contributes in national and international standards committees (NFPA-72,
IEC61508/61511, ANSI/ ISA, S84.01, and others) that provide Triconex with firsthand knowledge of the issues
affecting plant safety. As a result, you are assured that our system designs incorporate state-of-the-art safety
technology.
Triconex won control magazine’s 2009 reader’s choice award for Safety and critical control Systems — 12 times
in the last 13 years.
Triconex eSd SySTem improVeS your boTTom line
A Triconex ESD system substantially reduces project implementation time and provides a highly cost-effective
instrumented solution:
• Triconex ESD systems are fault tolerant —
certified to function safely in the presence
of one or several faults, thereby eliminating
nuisance trips attributed to other safety
systems with lower redundancy.
• Using the Triconex TriStation 1131™
application development tool, you can
implement your project at a fraction of the
time it would take with competitive systems.
TriStation 1131 features a library of ESD
function blocks and CEMPLE™, our easy-to-
use Cause & Effect Matrix Programming Editor.
CEMPLE allows the user to define the complete
processing of sensor inputs, shutdown logic,
and outputs to the final control elements on
one CEM editor screen.
• The Triconex controller’s remote input/output
(I/O) capability, using fiber optics, dramatically
reduces costs associated with long cable runs,
making it superior to conventional systems.
• Outstanding diagnostics capabilities quickly
identify failed instruments, load faults or
faulted modules, simplifying replacement
and improving overall safety and availability
of your process.
5. TÜV rheinland-cerTified
With a Triconex ESD solution, you receive a
system that is certified by the most respected
authority on safety-instrumented systems,
and will not shutdown your plant accidentally.
Triconex TMR technology allows the system to
operate safely for an indefinite period following
a single processor failure when operating in TÜV
SIL 3. This allows your personnel the opportunity
to fix the problem at a suitable time.
VirTually mainTenance free
One of the most powerful features of Triconex
TMR technology is its ease of maintenance. The
state-ofthe-art diagnostics capability quickly
directs personnel to the location of the problem.
Field instrument point faults can be located
and addressed immediately. Because of the
technology’s modular redundant architecture,
I/O and processor modules can be replaced
online – no system shutdown required, no sensor
wiring deactivation, no reprogramming, and no
reloading of logic.
The system redundancy is completely transparent
to the user. Your programmer, operator, and
maintenance staff can treat the TMR system
like a single controller, which results in reduced
programming, installation, and minimum long-
term maintenance costs.
6. emergency shutdown systems solutions
connecTiViTy
Because of the large number of I/O and interface modules, a Triconex ESD application allows users to
interface to essentially any third-party system, as well as connect to any sensor and actuator.
Shutdown signals and defined system and discrepancy alarms are transmitted to the Distributed Control
System (DCS) for operators and maintenance personnel. Triconex products communicate this information
over a serial data link (such as Modbus) via specially developed interface modules to Foxboro® and
Honeywell systems or to external hosts over IEEE 802.3 networks with support of the TCP-IP/UDP-IP
protocol. Triconex products are OPC (OLE for process control) compliant and support Modbus TCP protocol.
The ESD system can be activated manually or automatically from a third-party system such as a fire and gas
system or process sensors. Once activated, it initiates customer-defined actions, either partial or total plant
shutdown procedures.
For example:
• Shutdown all transport of flammable fluids/gases in case of fire or leakage of hydrocarbons
• Vent to flare waste gases resulting from process halt
• Depressurize the process to reduce the possibility of vessel or pipe rupture
• Perform electrical isolation or kill power to the field
• Start emergency generators or power supplies
• Halt turbines or rotating machinery due to a vibration, high bearing temperature, or lubrication failure
• Start backup pumps or other auxiliary safety equipment
programming and configuraTion made eaSy
A standard personal computer together with Triconex TriStation
1131 software is used for program development, program
storing, fault diagnostics, system monitoring, and application
documentation. The IEC 1131 Part 3 compliant development
workbench supports function block diagram, ladder diagram, and
structured text languages. Using a standard library of IEC 1131-3
and Triconex-developed function blocks provides a powerful and
intuitive environment. With CEMPLE, the Cause & Effect Matrix
Programming Editor, implementing the ESD logic is easy and
virtually eliminates programming errors.
TriStation 1131 has powerful emulation capability for testing
and troubleshooting the application program. Software
changes are done offline, tested, and then downloaded into
the running application. The program development package is
self-documenting and provides printouts of logic diagrams with
tagname identifiers and user comments, I/O module (hardware)
configuration, tagname lists with descriptions, and cross
references, and others.
7. The Technology ThaT maKeS iT worK
The ultra-high reliability and availability of a Triconex ESD system is based on Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) featuring:
• Triplicated 2-out-of-3 voting principle for high integrity, error-free and uninterrupted process operation with no
single point of failure.
• Three isolated main processor boards performing extensive internal diagnostics. Each processor can be
replaced online with automatic reprogramming upon insertion in a running system.
• Input and output modules that consist of three isolated independent legs, each module can be removed from
service for maintenance or repair without interrupting or stopping the process or disturbing field wiring.
• System diagnostics that indicate a failure of any single active component without causing a shutdown action.
Thereby, allowing maintenance personnel to take necessary action while the process is still running.
The system can be customer configured for different modes of operation. For example, in a 3-2-1-0 mode of
operation, where one of the triplicated channels fails, it transfers to a dual fail-safe operation. A failure of a
second triplicated channel results in a transfer to single fail-safe operation.
cerTified and TeSTed
Triconex rigorously tests its system hardware and software to meet or exceed the highest national and
international standards for reliability and availability:
• ANSI/ISA, IEC, API, and HSE
• Factory Mutual (FM) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listings
• Electromagnetic compatibility (CE Mark)
• Certified by TÜV Rheinland* to SIL 3 applications and by CSA/NTRL/C
*Many safety system suppliers are certified by TÜV. Be sure to ask which modules are certified and request a copy of restrictions
and requirements (safety guidelines) issued by TÜV. Triconex is pleased to provide you with a list of all our certified modules.
