The document discusses different methods for defining safety integrity levels (SIL), including the IEC 61508 risk graph approach, minimum endogenous mortality (MEM), and globally as equivalent (GAME). It applies these methods to a track worker warning system as an example. The IEC 61508 risk graph yields a SIL of 3 or 4. MEM yields the highest SIL of 4. GAME yields results from SIL 0 to SIL 2 depending on assumptions. In conclusion, the different approaches generally coincide in their results for this example, with more stringent requirements yielding a higher SIL assignment.
