Event Recap and Key Takeaways

During the session, we explored how Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) supports safer, more reliable operations by focusing inspection effort where it matters most. Key themes included:

• RBI helps align inspection with actual risk, improving safety and efficiency
• Key elements include DMR, POF/COF, inspection planning, and risk mitigation
• Revalidation and documentation are essential to program integrity
• A successful RBI program depends on data quality, team qualifications, and traceability
• API 580 provides the framework – execution depends on understanding and discipline

Through examples and practical insights, the session highlighted how RBI can reduce unnecessary inspections, improve reliability, and support better decision-making across asset-intensive environments.
