Risk-Based Inspection

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is a systematic approach used by industries to prioritize maintenance and inspection efforts on equipment and facilities based on their potential risks. It evaluates factors like the likelihood of failure and the consequences if a failure occurs, allowing organizations to focus resources on the most critical areas. This targeted strategy helps prevent accidents, reduce downtime, and optimize safety and reliability, all while managing costs effectively. In essence, RBI ensures that inspections are performed where they are most needed, balancing safety, operational efficiency, and expenditure.
