Half Day Course on "Mechanical Integrity"

This course introduces the basic requirements to achieve a successful Mechanical Integrity program, historical incidents worldwide due to poor Mechanical Integrity, KPIs for continuous improvement, and other best practices to help you and your facilities better, proactively improve and reduce operating and maintenance costs and optimize process plant safety. Throughout this course, examples will be provided on the concepts discussed, to reinforce your knowledge on Mechanical Integrity.

  • Learn the principles behind Mechanical Integrity, historical incidents related to Mechanical Integrity, challenges and solutions and regulatory requirements.
  • Learn about positive program, negative program indicators and KPIs / Metrics

Mechanical integrity is integral part of a process safety management program. The intent is to assure that equipment used to process, store, or handle highly hazardous chemicals is designed, constructed, installed and maintained to minimize the risk of releases. Historically, M.I. deficiencies account for approximately 20% of all U.S. OSHA PSM citations every year. Identifying and prioritizing what equipment and instrumentation should be included in your M.I. program is ever challenging. The purpose of this webinar is to discuss M.I. strategies identification and categorization of equipment, positive and negative program indicators, and lessons learned, and best practices based in PSRG years of auditing M.I. programs globally.
