Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for vessel and tank entry safety.
Designing Safety Strategies for Entering Vessels and Tanks
A senior-level treatment of vessel and tank entry safety, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Reactive work on vessel and tank entry safety costs several times what the same job costs when planned. Maintenance budgets are cut on entry safety in good years and paid for in bad ones. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this part of engineering and maintenance work and prepares them for it. Participants gain a realistic view of what vessel and tank entry safety costs and what it returns. The content is relevant to those who own the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda and to those who are held accountable for its results. The course sets out a working method for entry safety that participants can apply the week they return. Practitioner evidence points the same way: vessel and tank entry safety improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. What blocks progress on entry safety is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The final module sets out how progress on the engineering and maintenance work discipline will be evidenced six months later.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Align entry safety with the wider objectives of the asset base rather than optimising it in isolation.
Maintain drawings and documentation for vessel and tank entry safety after modification.
Set acceptance criteria for entry safety before work begins rather than after.
Select indicators that show whether vessel and tank entry safety is improving, and reject those that only look useful.
Establish condition monitoring on entry safety that gives useful warning time.
Define the spares holding for vessel and tank entry safety against lead time and consequence.
