Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on internal corrosion inspection in good years and paid for in bad ones. Improvement in the engineering and maintenance work discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this area of engineering and maintenance work, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants finish able to explain internal corrosion inspection to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the engineering and maintenance work capability, not around theory headings. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of engineering and maintenance work for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Comparative studies of internal corrosion inspection across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of engineering and maintenance work that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on internal corrosion inspection.

02

Communicate the purpose of internal corrosion inspection to those who have to comply with it.

03

Establish what evidence would demonstrate that internal corrosion inspection is under control.

04

Determine the failure modes of internal corrosion inspection and the consequence of each.

05

Anticipate the objections that internal corrosion inspection will attract internally and answer them in advance.

06

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on internal corrosion inspection.

07

Select the maintenance strategy for internal corrosion inspection — run to failure, preventive, or condition-based — on evidence.

Course Modules

01

Internal corrosion inspection: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reviewing internal corrosion inspection when nothing has gone wrong

  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on internal corrosion inspection.
  • Estimate the resource internal corrosion inspection requires to run as designed.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for internal corrosion inspection.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on internal corrosion inspection.

Session 2What condition data on internal corrosion inspection is telling you early

  • Identify single points of dependency in internal corrosion inspection and reduce them.
  • Map the handovers in internal corrosion inspection between functions and secure them.
  • Assign a criticality rating to internal corrosion inspection that drives work order priority.
  • Prepare the summary of internal corrosion inspection that senior management will read.
02

Internal corrosion inspection: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1How internal corrosion inspection actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Define the trigger that would require internal corrosion inspection to be redesigned.
  • Reduce the variation in how internal corrosion inspection is carried out between teams.
  • List the credible failure modes of internal corrosion inspection and the consequence of each.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for internal corrosion inspection based on failure pattern, not tradition.

Session 2Isolating internal corrosion inspection safely before work begins

  • Set out how exceptions to internal corrosion inspection are requested and approved.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on internal corrosion inspection.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in internal corrosion inspection.
  • Establish the boundary of internal corrosion inspection and record what sits outside it.
03

Internal corrosion inspection: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Maintenance indicators for internal corrosion inspection that change behaviour

  • Compare the cost of internal corrosion inspection with the cost of its absence.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates internal corrosion inspection is under control.
  • Define acceptance criteria for internal corrosion inspection in advance.
  • Rehearse the briefing on internal corrosion inspection that would follow an incident.

Session 2The decisions in internal corrosion inspection that cannot be delegated

  • Set the review interval for internal corrosion inspection and who attends.
  • Agree what will be standardised in internal corrosion inspection and what will not.
  • Agree the smallest change to internal corrosion inspection that would be visibly useful.
  • Identify where judgement in internal corrosion inspection is legitimate and where it is not.
04

Internal corrosion inspection: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Planning work on internal corrosion inspection so it does not become reactive

  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for internal corrosion inspection.
  • Investigate repeat failures on internal corrosion inspection to root cause, not to component.
  • Set maintenance indicators for internal corrosion inspection that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Build the competence framework that supports internal corrosion inspection.

Session 2Escalation and decision rights in internal corrosion inspection

  • Confirm that those complying with internal corrosion inspection understand why it exists.
  • Set escalation thresholds for internal corrosion inspection that work out of hours.
  • Verify six months later that changes to internal corrosion inspection have held.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in internal corrosion inspection.
