Key challenges
For any plant, a major challenge is maximising production and minimising downtime whilst not compromising on safety. In the current social and economic climate, process safety receives ever increasing scrutiny whilst under continuing pressure to ensure excellent financial performance. To satisfy stakeholders, the industry is required to demonstrate better business performance whilst experiencing fewer accidents and operating more safely and with less impact on the environment.
What is Risk Based Inspection?
RBI is a method for using risk as a basis to prioritise and manage the efforts of an inspection programme. An effective programme can be designed to either reduce the level of risk for a given inspection activity level, or reduce the level of inspection activity required to maintain the level of risk, or indeed a combination of these.
Our innovation
In order to address these challenges, you will need to use the latest technology to assist you in meeting your operational objectives in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Whether looking to improve safety or enhance operational performance, the Safeti RBI package is the most advanced available in the market. Our fully quantitative approach has gained acceptance by many regulatory authorities responsible for approving the use of RBI to manage inspection activities. The range of well validated models available in the package make it the most comprehensive and rigorous software available.
How can RBI help your inspection planning?
RBI makes use of a broad range of technologies including consequence modelling, reliability and failure frequency analysis and limit-state approaches to provide a risk-based method for evaluating and developing inspection plans. RBI is used in calculating the likelihood and consequences of failures. The result is used to identify which equipment poses the greatest risk, and so warrants the most inspection attention in order to manage that risk effectively. By focusing your inspection efforts on high-risk areas, much low-value work can be eliminated, thus reducing costs without compromising safety or reliability.
Performance over prescription
Historically, inspection has been planned based on prescriptive guidelines. The Safeti RBI package allows you to inspect based on risk of failure. By focusing on your high-risk assets, you can benefit from an inspection and maintenance schedule which leads to safer operation, reduced downtime and better business performance.
