Mechanical Integrity (MI) systems based on OSHA 1910.119 guidelines have been critical
to ensure safe and reliable operations of one of our large, corrosive manufacturing plant
sites. The site started implementing a conventional MI system starting in 1995 and made
steady progress, but soon started to get over whelmed with repeat inspections. In 2000 the
plant implemented Risk Based Inspection (RBI) techniques which greatly helped manage
the overall program.
