Course Introduction
This advanced course equips engineers and asset managers with comprehensive tools and methodologies to implement Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) and Maintenance (RBM) programs aligned with international standards (API 580/581, ISO 55000). Participants will gain skills to assess asset condition, assign risk rankings, and develop optimal inspection and repair strategies. Emphasis is placed on balancing safety, reliability, and cost through risk-informed decision-making across various industrial environments.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand RBI/RBM principles and frameworks (API 580/581)
- Conduct qualitative and quantitative risk assessments
- Identify critical assets based on likelihood and consequence of failure
- Develop and optimize inspection plans based on risk ranking
- Make informed decisions about repair and mitigation actions
- Support continuous improvement in asset integrity programs
Key Benefits of Attending
Traditional inspection and maintenance methods can lead to over- or under-servicing of assets. RBI/RBM provides a structured way to maximize resource utilization, improve reliability, and enhance operational safety while maintaining regulatory compliance.
