Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Methodologies

The Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Methodologies course is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of RBI principles and practices. This course focuses on assessing the risk of equipment failure, prioritizing inspection efforts, and implementing effective inspection strategies to enhance safety and reliability in industrial operations.

• The primary objective of this course is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to develop and implement RBI programs. By the end of the course, participants will be able to identify critical assets, assess risks, and optimize inspection resources to prevent failures and improve operational safety.
