Review the significant role evidence and expert opinion play in Risk Management.
The importance of operating, maintenance, and equipment parameters is reviewed You will understand the benefits of using “Evidence Based Expert Information”.
The question of “Do I need inspection data to initiate my semiquantitative RBI program that uses calculated probability of failure will be answered.
Contracting issues will be discussed.
IMPORTANCE AND ROLE OF RAGAGEP
Review the marvelous job API and ASME have done to provide a consensus based structure around Risk Based Inspection, Corrosion Control Documents, and Integrity Operating Windows.
Discuss the tactical and strategic options available along with best practices for use and implementation of these tools to improve safety and profitability.
CORROSION CONTROL DOCUMENTS AND INTEGRITY OPERATING WINDOWS
Provide a historical perspective on Corrosion Control Documents. Why do I need them, and how can they help me?
Review Integrity Operatinng Windows. What are my options and what role do they play? Quality Assurance and Control Issues will be discussed.
MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
“Does your Budget drive your inspection maintenance and quality program?” What are some of cost benefits based on lessons learned from best practices.
Importance of integrating the RBI program with the Corporate Risk Management Policy. Role and use of Procedures and Document Management System.

Just in case you need it: SOME JUSTIFICATION FOR ATTENDING
When the PSM/MI Rules were enacted, API developed API 510 and 570 as RAGAGEP for inspections to ensure design basis maintenance knowing the reality of equipment degradation. From the beginning both 510 and 570 required a) the identification of damage mechanisms and b) appropriate inspections to be conducted that would detect degradation of equipment prior to encroaching on the design basis. Ask yourself:
Have you done an adequate job identifying damage mechanisms to be monitored and
Required your engineers/inspectors (whether inhouse or contracted) to provide you a remaining life calculation or action plan to maintain the design basis?
We hope to impress upon attendees that if they are to be successful the following are essential program elements, missing any of these the program is doomed to failure. Ask your self, am I missing any of these essential elements?
Management Commitment (including an appropriate budget), Policies and Procedures to ensure consistency,
Training and qualification of personnel, Tools to do the work, and
Audit of the work to ensure it is done correctly.
If the answer to these questions is: a) I don’t know or b) We have not done this . You should attend this one day seminar to review and help you understand the benefits of using available technology and aligning your actions to your company business case on a daily basis.
