Functional Safety Leadership and Compliance Management – IEC 61508, IEC 61511 & ISO 26262

Functional safety represents the cornerstone of trust, reliability, and operational excellence in every organization that relies on complex control systems. Beyond the realm of technical standards and engineering design, it is a leadership discipline that demands vision, accountability, and strategic alignment with corporate objectives. Ensuring that systems perform safely under both normal and fault conditions requires not only advanced engineering controls but also a governance framework that integrates safety into every layer of decision-making.

This training course explores the leadership dimension of functional safety — guiding participants through the principles, structures, and responsibilities required to manage safety integrity across the system lifecycle. Through the lens of international frameworks such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511, and ISO 26262, delegates will learn how to establish a Functional Safety Management System (FSMS) that strengthens organizational compliance, minimizes risk exposure, and drives continuous improvement.

Equally important, the program highlights how leaders shape safety culture, ensuring that human, technical, and procedural elements work together harmoniously. Participants will gain practical tools for governance, audit, competency management, and communication — transforming functional safety from a technical requirement into a strategic organizational capability that enhances reliability, compliance, and stakeholder confidence.
