Augustus Mechanical Integrity Seminar for PSM Compliance -

Join us for TWO days to Focus on Details of:

  • MI Management Systems and Opportunities
  • Risk Based Management
  • Flange Leak Reduction
  • External vs. Internal and On-Stream Inspection Management

Plant aging, recent events and OSHA modernization call for attention to Mechanical Integrity.  And some new companies may be required to have process safety management (PSM) programs in the future. The Augustus Seminar on MI for PSM Compliance provides the responsible engineer/manager the background needed to implement a practical MI program.  As we implement a MI program we naturally involve other elements of the PSM rule. 

The relationships and opportunities for improvement that are identified as we develop our MI programs will be discussed, including the MUST HAVE key management systems:  Document Management, Maintenance/Inspection and Testing Management, and Deficiency Resolution (or as it is sometimes referred to - CAPA)

Specific Elements of the OSHA 1910.119(j) Rule on MI to be Covered Include:  
  • Written Procedures, the different types and when to use which kinds
  • Training, what constitutes acceptable training
  • Controlling Equipment Materials and Supplies, from procurement through installation
  • Inspection Testing and Maintenance, how to set up and manage a program
  • Equipment Deficiencies, what is a deficiency, when identified how are they typically handled, what is acceptable documentation of resolution, what to do when do you have a pervasive problem out of control
  • Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Conventional MI Programs make it happen.  The use of Risk Analysis when applied appropriately provides significant financial and safety benefits.  We will cover: 

  • Risk Based Inspection, what role does it play in compliance activities
  • For those with a conventional program in place we will present a qualitative/ semi-quantitative approach to take advantage of Risk Based Inspection technology to improve safety and save money
