Organizational Competency in Reliability

Organizational Competency in Reliability

To be truly reliable, an organization must demonstrate sustainable competence in reliability.

It is considered the most effective and efficient mode of operation; it is the cultural norm.

Mechanical Integrity Simplified

Mechanical Integrity Simplified

It’s horrific to read about fires in refineries. Granted, process safety management (PSM) principles, with a greater emphasis on mechanical integrity (MI), have been embraced across the globe, greatly reducing the number of incidents. However, citations remain high, with the U.S. having the highest number of them. What’s the problem? A consistent implementation and application of MI. This article attempts to simplify the MI program, with the hope that organizations can achieve 100 percent mastery in avoiding incidents.
