    Study Notes

    RBI Assessment Benefits

    • Identifies risk drivers including damage mechanisms, damage modes, and equipment with inadequate inspection histories.
    • Recognizes consequence-driven equipment that may not be affected by regular inspection practices.
    • Provides insights into safety, health, environmental, and economic implications.
    • Develops a comprehensive inspection plan with appropriate detection techniques and methods.
    • Establishes inspection extent, including specific locations or percentage of total area to be examined.
    • Specifies inspection intervals or next scheduled inspection dates to ensure timely assessments.
    • Optimizes resource allocation for more efficient risk management.
    • Identifies potential mitigation activities that further reduce risk levels associated with facilities and equipment.
    • Enhances acceptance and understanding of existing risks among personnel.
    • Facilitates implementation of risk mitigation activities such as:
      • Maintaining Integrity Operating Windows (IOWs) to ensure operational safety.
      • Minimizing personnel exposure to hazardous areas.
      • Selecting construction materials less prone to degradation.
      • Reducing the consequences of failures through inventory control and detection systems.
      • Implementing effective repair or replacement strategies.

    Limitations of RBI Assessment

    • Compromised by inaccurate or missing information that affects risk evaluation.
    • Insufficient design, improper installation, or inadequate testing can hinder effectiveness.
    • Risks increase when operations exceed acceptable process limits, such as those defined by IOWs.
    • Failure to execute risk management plans effectively can yield insufficient protective measures.
    • Lacks effectiveness without qualified personnel or adequate teamwork during the assessment process.
    • Incomplete engineering assessments or poor operational judgment can lead to significant oversights.
    • Risks remain elevated without appropriate follow-up on inspection findings and recommendations.
    • Construction or fabrication errors can introduce additional risks that RBI assessments cannot mitigate.
