Sofis valve interlocking systems, key management systems and other safety solutions help the industry to comply stringent safety regulations and risk management policies. To ensure the operational integrity of critical safety systems on the longer term, Sofis offers the Asset Integrity & Continuity Program.
Guarantee the integrity of valve interlock systems
Sofis valve interlocks are often installed on critical applications in your plant facilities. They are robust and have a 20 year plus lifetime, when operated correctly.
In daily practice, interlocks can get broken, bypassed or even removed, and interlock keys can get lost. To guarantee operator and plant safety and to comply with regulations, you therefore need to regularly inspect and maintain your valve interlocks. Moreover, your staff’s knowledge on valve interlock systems needs to be up-to-date at all times.
Understand the status of your valve interlock systems
Understanding the status of your valve interlock systems is vital to guarantee a safe working environment. You need to know where your interlocks are being installed, and whether they all function well.
Recording all interlock failures is key to understand the safety culture on-site. Only when you know the cause of the malfunction, adequate follow-up action can be arranged.
Plan actions to reduce safety risks
Follow-up action should include corrective (short term) and preventive (long term) action planning. This will reduce the number of defects, reduces safety risks (goal zero) and prevent unwanted downtime.
