Risk Based Inspection (RBI)

The key outcome of any RBI scheme is a prioritised and focused inspection schedule

This ensures high risk items get correct scrutiny and produces a safety focused and cost effective inspection scheme.

RBI is now recognised as a key tool in meeting legislative requirements, as detailed in the HSE's best practice guidelines

Using RBI Programme, Risk is reduced to a greater degree than at the same cost using a Typical Inspection Programme

Using a RBI Scheme a piece of equipment is given a Risk rating based on failure Probability versus Consequence.

RBI Scheme helps avoid over-inspection of low risk equipment and puts focus on equipment that has High Probability and High Risk of failure
