Purpose: Analysis and determination of the main modern international safety requirements that must be met in the design, development and operation of industrial equipment management systems, as well as confirmation of the need for further improvement of the domestic regulatory framework in this area. Methodology/approach: Performed analysis of the requirements of modern international standards (IEC 62061 and IEC 61508) on the safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems for industrial equipment and the existing sequence of protection against hazards; the algorithm of step-by-step realization of control systems and the basic features of the organization of their structures at the level of functional blocks and subsystems for maintenance of necessary level of completeness of functional safety are defined; the peculiarities of the process of design and development of each of the subsystems and the algorithm of its execution are analyzed; defined algorithms for estimating the probability of dangerous accidental hardware failures for the recommended basic architecture of subsystems (type A, B, C and D) and for the control system itself; provided recommendations on the composition of the specification of safety requirements in the design of control systems; reviewed software requirements. Conclusions: The analysis of the features of functioning and application of modern international safety standards, which must be observed in the design, development and operation of industrial equipment management systems convincingly confirms the relevance and need for further improvement of domestic regulations in this area. Research results:  Modern requirements for the organization of the control system structure at the level of functional units and subsystems to ensure the required level of completeness of functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems for industrial equipment are determined, as well as features of application the of algorithms for estimating the probability of dangerous accidental failures of control systems and their subsystems. Practical implications: The development and implementation of relevant national standards based on IEC 62061 and IEC 61508 should accelerate the further development of technical progress in Ukraine in the field of industrial safety. Originality/value: Defining the main features of the functioning of modern international safety standards, which must be observed in the design, development and operation of industrial equipment control systems; Appropriate recommendations for their practical application are provided; Substantiated and confirmed the relevance and importance of the development of relevant harmonized national standards based on the standards IEC 62061 and IEC 61508.

Purpose: Analysis and determination of the main modern international safety requirements that must be met in the design, development and operation of industrial equipment management systems, as well as confirmation of the need for further improvement of the domestic regulatory framework in this area.Performed analysis of the requirements of modern international standards (IEC 62061, IEC 61508) on the safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems for industrial equipment and the existing sequence of protection against hazards; the main features of the architecture of such control systems are identified and algorithms for determining the main indicators of their functional safety (PL; SIL PL; PFHd) and an algorithm for ensuring the required level of security depending on the parameters of existing risks are provided. The analysis of the features of functioning and application of modern international safety standards, which must be observed in the design, development and operation of industrial equipment management systems convincingly confirms the relevance and need for further improvement of domestic regulations in this area. The main parameters (indicators) of safety of functioning of electric, electronic and programmable electronic control systems of industrial equipment are determined. Relevant recommendations are provided on the main aspects of their application and implementation according to IEC 62061 and IEC 61508.The development and implementation of relevant national standards based on IEC 62061 and IEC 61508 should accelerate the further development of technical progress in the field of industrial safety. Confirmed relevance and importance of the need to develop relevant national standards based on IEC 62061 and IEC 61508.

The required level of safety of machines and mechanisms is achieved through the use of appropriate safety management systems for industrial equipment, including programmable electronic ones. Such systems usually include a variety of security devices for managing industrial equipment settings. Since electronic control systems are currently considered the most promising control systems in this area, the study of the security parameters of their application support determines the relevance of this study. This study analyses the main requirements of IEC 61508 and IEC 62061 standards for compliance with modern safety requirements of embedded and applied software for electronic control systems of machines and mechanisms. This study proposes an algorithm for step-by-step implementation of software for electronic machine control systems in accordance with basic security standards for both built-in and application software. Testing has been determined as the main method of verification of application software. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the specification of security requirements, both built-in and application software, should highlight the necessary characteristics of each subsystem, providing information that allows choosing the equipment that meets existing security requirements. Relevant recommendations are given on the specifics of practical application of these standards.

This Paper Will Discuss Some Of The Authors Concerns Regarding The Widely Recognized Industry Safety Standard Published By The American National Standards Institute (Ansi), Ansi A 14.2- 1990- Safety Requirements For Portable Metal Ladders. In This Experts Experience, And Based Upon Research Into Ladder Accidents, The Most Common Cause Of Fall From A Portable Metal Ladder Is The Buckling Failure Of One Of The .Side Rails. A Large Percentage Of Falls From A Portable Metal Ladders Are Attributed To The Sudden Buckling Failure Of One Of The Side Rails, Thereby Causing The User To Fall And Sustain Serious Injuries. Analysis Of The Cross-Section Of The Ladder Side Rails Reveals That The Design Criteria Spelled Out In The Industry Ladder Standards Falls Far Short Of The Safety Factors Commonly Applied To Other Structures Of A Similar Nature Which Are Designed By Mechanical, Structural, Civil And Aeronautical Engineers. Whereas The Commercially Available Metal Ladders Meet Or Exceed The Industry Standard, And Are Therefore Deemed To Be Safe By The Courts, A Thorough Analysis Of The Basis For The Standards Shows Several Inconsistencies And Deficiencies, Some Of Which Will Be Addressed In This Paper.
