Traditionally, facilities assets were examined on an exact timetable. Every once in a while, the Inspection was due, and an individual was designated as an independent evaluator trained in the specific equipment. Sometimes, that Inspection will require interruptions, which always costs the company money.
Every sector is getting more competitive. The companies that make it through must keep finding new methods to make more from less without cutting corners. This is particularly relevant in the area of safety for employees and customers.
Risk-based Inspection or RBI is the process of directing the inspections of your equipment based on guidelines based on the relationship between the likelihood of failure and the consequences of failure or Risk, not a random schedule.
What is RISK-BASED INSPECTION? RBI?
The American Petroleum Institute (API) developed the Risk-based Inspection method based on the understanding that in most facilities, only a small proportion of the equipment is responsible for most risks. It wasn't logical to check all machines at the same time considering this situation.
A majority of their suggested methods were developed in the context of API 580 as well as API 581. Both are concerned with the safety of processes, corrosion mechanical integrity, and the principles to manage the Risk. API identified the term "Risk-based Inspection" as taking into account "both the likelihood of failure and the consequence of failure."
Certain equipment, systems, types, and procedures are more susceptible to failure. For certain systems, if this happens, the business may suffer financial or physical consequences. If it's crucial for safety and efficiency, it is important to ensure that it is the top priority regarding inspections.

Who needs RBI?
Any business that adheres to OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM), EPA Risk Management Plan (RMP), and ISO 9001 standards of quality will gain from Risk-based Inspection/RBI. Industries such as aviation, oil and gas manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas all require regular inspections to ensure the highest safety and quality standards.
They also require the most value from their inspection and maintenance dollars.
The more lengthy or costly the Inspection, the more likely an organization will gain from RBI. For example, if your company depends on off-shore equipment, hard-to-read storage tanks, or high-pressure parts such as gas turbines and steam, The process of Inspection can be complicated. Still, the Risk of failure is unacceptably high.
HOW RBI WORKS
Risk-based Inspection is time-saving and money and improves security because it utilizes the existing data from your facilities or similar equipment assets rather than random methods for scheduling inspections.
Our experts review your equipment based on the design, condition, and functionality, prior inspection results, and the severity of damage that could occur when a failure occurs. TUV Austria Bureau of Inspection & Certification gather data on the equipment's inspection maintenance, Inspection, and failure past; then we analyze the possibility of damage through a Damage Mechanism Review.
With the help of the most powerful software and the information from your facility, we estimate the Risk and the consequences of failure and its general Risk. We also consider your company's risk tolerance, which decides the actions to be taken. If an asset is within the risk threshold and is considered to be low risk, this asset's inspection frequency is set to the maximum permitted interval. This frees up resources to concentrate on those assets with high Risk that require your time and funds.
Other problems could trigger that need for total plant shutdown, cause disastrous impacts on environmental health, and come with high repair costs or force your business to lose the mark on opportunities that may never be re-created. They are your highest-risk assets.
Based on an extensive, standard-based investigation, we employ our expertise and technology to develop an official risk assessment that provides a method to prioritize and conduct physical inspections.
