API API-580 Exam Tutorial

A. Ineffective, unnecessary or inappropriate inspection activities may be eliminated

Combination of the probabilityof an event and its consequence

A. On the basis of expert knowledge and experience

In general the probability of failure is determined by

______________to be established to judge acceptability of risk couldhe an objective of the

Consequence is always.............For safety aspects

The rbi program for environmental consequences, typically focuses

The models are evaluated_____________to provide both qualitativeand quantitative

Deterioration susceptibility and rate can be done

A. By groupingthe same material of construction/similar process/environment

Following are the non-inspection mitigation actions except one

Act of mitigating a known risk to a lower level of risk.
