Event Overview Risk Based Inspection (RBI) is a method for using risk as a basis for managing an inspection program. The concept of risk is used to target inspection and maintenance resources at areas of the plant where they can have the greatest effect in reducing risk and the occurrence and consequences of unplanned failures. It also eliminates unproductive inspection or maintenance activities. In an effective RBI system, risk is treated as a function of both the likelihood of a failure and the consequences of the failure. Tischuk International’s Risk Based Inspection Program is ISO 9000 Compliant and meets API's Recommended Practice on Risk Based Inspection, RP 580. The proven technology is transferred to more than 180 facilities and pipelines worldwide with a set of state of the art procedures and software. The technology is sophisticated and robust, with the goal to make implementation of it readily understandable and usable by clients. Maintenance and Inspection strategies are developed by Tischuk with the focus on appropriate effort on all equipment items. Tischuk International has developed an integrated software based on the Tischuk Operational Criticality Assessment (OCA) system of analysis. This is designed to assess risk in a simple and cost effective way and it is a fundamental part of the development, implementation and management of risk based strategies. OCA uses a 3 x 3 risk matrix to represent the different levels of risk.

Mr. Steve Tooby

Steve Tooby is a senior consultant and training officer with Tischuk International, one of the world leaders in risk based integrity management systems. Steve has background at hands-on operational levels and subsequently of management in refineries, petrochemicals plants and later in oil/gas production, specifically in training; RBI & integrity management; safety & reliability; NDE & inspection; auditing and change management; design; R & D; production control; planning; written schemes of examination; overseeing implementation of RBI programs.

Prior to working with Tischuk, Steve spent many years with Douglas Oil and Conoco, principally in oil refining.  Initially working as a designer, subsequent posts included management of inspection services and project engineering, covering plant expansion and maintenance as well as process improvement initiatives.  His reviews of integrity management across organizational divisions and management of change were particularly important in building his capability for his current role as RBIM Facilitator, supporting the implementation of RBIM in many organizations.  Other factors were his extensive knowledge of failure mechanisms, plant reliability and pressure equipment legislation.

His current role with Tischuk involves the training and guiding of client User teams during the initial stages of their RBIM implementation.  He also assists with the plant integrity review phases of RBIM program updates and carries out program audits.

Steve is a past chairman of the UK Committee of User Inspectorates and was the UK Representative and chairman of the European Committee of User Inspectorates.  Steve holds an engineering honors degree from the University of Bath, England.
