Risk-Based Inspection
Course Description
Risk-based inspection (RBI) uses risk analysis methods
to focus tests and inspections on process equipment in high-risk service
so that potential losses in terms of safety, environmental impacts,
equipment damage, and business interruption are minimized. Its utility is
based on the rough premise that 10% of the equipment in a process
contributes 90% of the risk. Consequently, if this 10% of the equipment
can be identified, testing and inspection can be focused on it rather than
low-risk items. This approach is clearly preferable to the usual method of
treating all equipment equally, regardless of its risk contribution.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has developed an
RBI approach. The technique looks at both the likelihood of failure as
well as the associated consequence for each piece of equipment. RBI is
used to focus inspections and resources on those equipment items that have
the greatest likelihood and consequence of failure.
RBI allows companies to prioritize their equipment for
inspection, optimize inspection methods and frequencies, and develop
specific equipment inspection plans. This results in improved safety,
fewer forced shutdowns, and reduced operational costs.
This course shows you how to develop a RBI program at
your facility. It provides you with the methods you need to perform the
analyses involved and explains how to establish individual equipment
inspection programs.
Objective
Provide instruction on how to establish a risk-based
inspection program for your facility.
Target Audience
Personnel with responsibility for maintenance of
process equipment or the safety of plant operations.
Prerequisites
Attendance at Primatech’s training course on
mechanical integrity or equivalent training or experience is desirable.
