Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on risk-based inspection in good years and paid for in bad ones. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the engineering and maintenance work capability is examined from more than one functional angle. Where this strand of engineering and maintenance work is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants leave with a method for risk-based inspection, not a set of opinions about it. Participants test their assumptions about the engineering and maintenance work capability against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda and revise it on evidence. Progress on risk-based inspection is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of engineering and maintenance work survives a hostile question.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Handle the trade-offs in risk-based inspection between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.
Anticipate the objections that risk-based inspection will attract internally and answer them in advance.
Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for risk-based inspection.
Investigate repeat failures on risk-based inspection to root cause.
Select the maintenance strategy for risk-based inspection — run to failure, preventive, or condition-based — on evidence.
Apply a repeatable review cycle to risk-based inspection and act on what it produces.
Who Should Attend

Maintenance managers and planners responsible for risk-based inspection.
Reliability engineers analysing failures in risk-based inspection.
Safety officers reviewing hazards created by work on risk-based inspection.

Course Modules
Risk-based inspection: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reviewing risk-based inspection when nothing has gone wrong
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when risk-based inspection underperforms.
- Build the internal briefing that explains risk-based inspection to those affected.
- Anticipate the objections risk-based inspection will raise and prepare the answers.
- Estimate the resource risk-based inspection requires to run as designed.
Session 2How risk-based inspection actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Choose the maintenance strategy for risk-based inspection based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Establish the boundary of risk-based inspection and record what sits outside it.
- Compare the cost of risk-based inspection with the cost of its absence.
- Assign a criticality rating to risk-based inspection that drives work order priority.
Risk-based inspection: choosing the right maintenance strategy
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on risk-based inspection that keeps returning
- Review whether risk-based inspection is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in risk-based inspection.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in risk-based inspection.
- Agree the indicators that will show whether risk-based inspection is improving.
Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for risk-based inspection on evidence
- Confirm that contractual obligations around risk-based inspection are understood.
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on risk-based inspection.
- Define the trigger that would require risk-based inspection to be redesigned.
- List the credible failure modes of risk-based inspection and the consequence of each.
Risk-based inspection: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What condition data on risk-based inspection is telling you early
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on risk-based inspection.
- Set maintenance indicators for risk-based inspection that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to risk-based inspection will be introduced.
- Prepare the summary of risk-based inspection that senior management will read.
Session 2Making risk-based inspection work when resources are constrained
- Verify six months later that changes to risk-based inspection have held.
- Identify where judgement in risk-based inspection is legitimate and where it is not.
- Investigate repeat failures on risk-based inspection to root cause, not to component.
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for risk-based inspection.
Risk-based inspection: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Closing out risk-based inspection and capturing what was learned
- Define acceptance criteria for risk-based inspection in advance.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on risk-based inspection.
- Remove steps in risk-based inspection that add effort without adding assurance.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for risk-based inspection.
Session 2Isolating risk-based inspection safely before work begins
- Set the review interval for risk-based inspection and who attends.
- Rehearse the briefing on risk-based inspection that would follow an incident.
- Name a single owner for each element of risk-based inspection.
- Rank the weaknesses in risk-based inspection by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
