Overview
This half-day training is an introductory course on functional safety using the IEC 61508:2010 standard. It is ideal for those unfamiliar with functional safety and for executive management wanting a better understanding of the requirements for their organization to develop towards compliance. IEC 61508 covers safety-critical electrical, electronic, and programmable systems across a wide range of industries, including increasingly software-defined, autonomous, and AI-enabled systems.
The training is provided by functional safety experts with vast experience working with manufacturers, suppliers, and semiconductor companies to successfully build functional safety into their organizations.

Objectives
IEC 61508 serves as the foundational standard for many application-specific functional safety standards. The objective of this training is to provide managers and engineers insight into core functional safety concepts and how they are increasingly applied within modern robotics, autonomy, and AI-enabled systems. The training provides an overview of the key aspects organizations must understand to build the critical infrastructure necessary to support functional safety objectives. The course also offers opportunities for questions and exchange of experience from SecuRESafe’s functional safety experts.
