Date	Class number	Topic	Slides for class	Video and audio files		References and Notes
10 November	11A	In this class we start with an overview of the Safety topic.	Slides	Video	Audio	The publisher of the [famous safety text by Crowl and Louvar] has posted the first chapter for free. Take a look at page 8 and 9 for the FAR values of various industries, showing dates and the improvements made in safety over the past few decades.
12 November	11B	This next class we consider the layers of safety protection in a plant.	Slides	The video sound was corrupted; I might be able to rescue the video later, but there are other priorities at the moment.	Audio
14 November	11C	We finished the BPCS layer (valve failure) and then considered the Alarms and SIS sections in the safety hierarchy.	Slides	Video	Audio	This P&ID shows a fail closed valve with the usual bypass that you know well. However, there is an interesting addition and the last picture on the page shows a 3D rendering of what it would look like in practice.
17 November	12A	We consider the SIS and relief layers.	Slides	Video	No audio recording.	This P&ID shows a fail closed valve with the usual bypass that you know well. However, there is an interesting addition and the last picture on the page shows a 3D rendering of what it would look like in practice.
