COURSE OVERVIEW:

The core meaning of this course is the establishment of a robust organizational framework for Risk-Based Inspection, ensuring that technical assessments translate into verifiable field actions. RBI is often treated as a standalone engineering study that fails to influence the actual maintenance execution. This course focuses on "Governance"—the rules, roles, and responsibilities that ensure the RBI program remains evergreen and compliant with international standards like API 580 and 581.

The scope of this training involves the integration of RBI findings into the site’s Work Management System and the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Participants will examine the workflow required to move from a "Risk Ranking" to a "Detailed Inspection Plan," including the selection of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. The curriculum emphasizes the "Data Loop," where inspection results are used to re-calculate risk, thereby dynamically adjusting future inspection intervals and scopes.

Coverage includes the management of "Management of Change" (MOC) impacts on the RBI model, the qualification requirements for RBI team members, and the auditing of program effectiveness. Attendees will explore how to integrate RBI with "Fixed Equipment Integrity" and "Process Safety Management" (PSM) programs. By the end of this course, participants will be able to lead a multidisciplinary RBI team that reduces the risk of loss of containment while optimizing the cost of intrusive inspections during plant shutdowns.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the principles of RBI Governance according to API 580 and 581.
• Establish a multidisciplinary "RBI Steering Committee" and team roles.
• Integrate "Risk-Based Inspection" intervals into the CMMS work flow.
• Design "Detailed Inspection Plans" (DIP) based on specific Damage Mechanisms.
• Implement a "Data Validation" process for RBI input and output.
• Manage the impact of "Process Changes" on the RBI Risk Profile.
• Utilize NDT results to "Update and Evergreen" the RBI assessment.
• Audit the "Technical Integrity" and "Execution Compliance" of the RBI program.
• Align RBI activities with "Statutory and Regulatory" inspection requirements.
• Quantify the "Risk Reduction" and "Cost Savings" achieved through RBI.
• Manage "Dead-Legs" and "Small-Bore Piping" within the RBI framework.
• Communicate "Asset Risk" to senior leadership through RBI Dashboards.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Inspection Managers, Mechanical Integrity Engineers, RBI Analysts, Maintenance Managers, and Quality Assurance Leads.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
