About the Course

Risk-based strategies prioritize where inspection and maintenance matter most by combining credible damage mechanisms with consequence modeling. This course demystifies risk methods (qualitative → quantitative), shows how to apply API 580/581, and connects RBI to RCM so inspection, monitoring, and maintenance tasks reinforce each other.
Through worked examples, you’ll identify active damage mechanisms, estimate PoF and CoF, set inspection plans and intervals, and apply Fitness-For-Service (API 579) when components fall short of original code criteria. You’ll leave with a deployable playbook, templates, and governance model to sustain a living RBI/RBM program.

Learning Milestones

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

- Explain RBI/RBM concepts, definitions, benefits, limitations, and implementation steps.
- Apply probability/consequence analysis using qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative tools.
- Map and evaluate damage mechanisms per API 571 and identify active vs. unlikely mechanisms.
- Use API 580/581 to risk-rank equipment and determine inspection scope and methods.
- Perform corrosion/remaining life calculations and set risk-based inspection intervals.
- Conduct Fitness-For-Service screenings and assessments (API 579) to support run/repair/replace.
- Integrate RBI with RCM to align inspection/maintenance and optimize resources.
- Build and govern an RBI/RBM program (team, data, software, KPIs, revalidation cadence).
- Communicate risk effectively to stakeholders and drive risk reduction actions.

Professional Audience

- Operations & Maintenance Engineers
