Abstract
A safety design system assists in the development of compliant industrial safety systems. User interfaces provided by the design system guide the user through an intuitive workflow for carrying out risk assessment analysis on industrial assets and designing safety functions for mitigating risks associated with the industrial assets. These user interfaces offer multiple views of safety system design aspects, including a layout view and a table view that offer alternative views of hazard and safety function data. The system also guides the user to the selection of suitable input, logic, and output devices for each safety function based on results of the risk assessment and local industrial safety standards.
