Course Description
Address OSHA PSM and EPA RMP Mechanical Integrity Requirements
In this course you will learn to develop a mechanical integrity (MI) program that addresses OSHA's process safety management (PSM) regulation (29 CFR 1910.119) and EPA's risk management program (RMP) rule (40 CFR 68). You will discover the latest MI strategies and technologies and how to effectively address mechanical integrity in a comprehensive and efficient manner.
Develop an Efficient Program for Ensuring Mechanical Integrity
In 2 intensive days of lectures, workshops, and review sessions, you will learn how to develop, implement, and maintain an efficient program for ensuring mechanical integrity. In a systematic, step-by-step fashion, the experienced instructor (who has helped dozens of clients develop MI programs) will guide you through the construction of your own program so that you get a thorough background in what OSHA and EPA require of your MI program. (A detailed analysis of OSHA citations will give you the most current view of OSHA's expectations.)
Get a Great MI Reference Manual
Recently updated and reformatted, this course now features a notebook that will be a reference tool for years to come.
Develop a List of Maintenance Procedures for Your Site
You will learn how to define roles and assign responsibilities within the program and how to integrate your new MI program with existing MI activities. In workshops using your own equipment list (or generic examples, if you prefer), you will practice developing an inspection, test, and preventive maintenance (ITPM) plan. You will learn quality assurance methods to help you discover and resolve equipment deficiencies. We will discuss the development of maintenance procedures and training activities for maintenance personnel. When you leave this course, you will be able to develop a list of maintenance procedures for your site.
Attend the Companion Courses to Make the Most of Your Trip
To enhance the value of your training investment, plan to attend the companion courses on Understanding Codes and Standards which is held the same week. Taking these courses in series ensures that you get a thorough grounding in the subject and, as an added benefit, you can save by registering for both courses together.
Write for Your Audience
After taking this course, you will be prepared to write operating procedures for your primary audience: the operators who do the work and the personnel who train the operators.
Understand Your MI Inspector’s Expectations
This course will help you understand the inspector’s expectations, evaluate your existing practices versus recognized codes and standards, and efficiently develop and/or improve your MI program.
