What is Risk Based Inspection (RBI)?
Risk Based Inspection (RBI) is a method for planning inspection and maintenance activities based on an assessment of risks. By analyzing and evaluating potential risks, inspection resources can be used more efficiently by prioritizing high-risk areas.
Benefits of RBI:
Improved safety: prioritization of inspections in high risk areas to identify and eliminate potential hazards.
Increased reliability: Regular inspections in critical areas ensure reliable plant operation.
Cost optimization: Reduce maintenance costs by focusing on high-risk areas.
Efficient use of resources: Targeted allocation of inspection resources saves time and money.
Regulatory compliance: Systematic and documented inspection planning fulfills regulatory requirements.
Conclusion: Risk Based Inspection (RBI) improves the safety and reliability of systems and at the same time optimizes maintenance costs through targeted inspection planning based on risk assessments.
