Asset Integrity & Process Safety Management

About the Course

Asset integrity and process safety management are fundamental to ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of industrial facilities throughout the asset lifecycle. Asset integrity is the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively while safeguarding personnel, the environment, and business operations. This is achieved by maintaining the risk of equipment failure and loss of containment at a level that is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) through effective engineering, inspection, maintenance, risk management, and operational controls. As organisations continue to operate ageing assets within increasingly demanding regulatory, operational, and commercial environments, effective asset integrity and process safety management have become essential for sustaining operational reliability, preventing major incidents, protecting critical infrastructure, and improving long-term business performance.

This 5-day Asset Integrity & Process Safety Management training course provides delegates with a comprehensive understanding of asset integrity management systems, process safety principles, lifecycle integrity assurance, risk management, inspection and monitoring strategies, equipment integrity, maintenance and reliability practices, and safety-critical elements. It examines how engineering, inspection, maintenance, risk assessment, management of change, and process safety management work together to maintain asset integrity throughout the asset lifecycle. It also explores industry standards, asset criticality, reliability improvement, risk-based inspection, corrosion management, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement strategies that enable organisations to strengthen asset reliability, optimise operational performance, minimise business risk, and achieve sustainable asset management excellence.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Explain the principles, objectives, and implementation requirements of an Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS) throughout the asset lifecycle
• Evaluate asset integrity strategies that improve equipment reliability, operational performance, and business sustainability
• Apply maintainability, inspection, and monitoring principles to support effective asset integrity assurance
• Assess hazards, operational risks, and process safety threats using recognised risk management and integrity assurance practices
• Develop inspection, maintenance, and equipment integrity strategies that support safe and reliable plant operations
• Integrate asset management activities, process safety principles, and risk-based decision-making to strengthen lifecycle asset performance
• Recommend continuous improvement initiatives that enhance asset integrity, operational reliability, and process safety performance

Training Approach

This training course combines expert-led presentations, practical engineering discussions, industry case studies, and group exercises to strengthen delegates' understanding of asset integrity and process safety management. Delegates will examine real-world engineering challenges through practical examples, workshops, and case study analyses covering inspection, maintenance, risk management, reliability, and process safety. An end-of-course assessment will be conducted to evaluate the knowledge and understanding acquired during the programme.
