Mechanical Integrity Program Management - (2 days) - Course #100-41

One of the cornerstones of a sound PSM program is a sound Mechanical Integrity Program. Mechanical integrity is a "condition" or state of a process or equipment which indicates that it is capable of full operations and is operating within the manufacturers' operating tolerances. Specifically, the Mechanical Integrity Program is aimed at ensuring that critical process equipment and components are: designed, fabricated, installed, inspected, tested, maintained, repaired, and decommissioned in a manner which preserves the originally intended integrity of the equipment, and by personnel who are properly trained and qualified to perform the necessary activities. Mechanical integrity activities span the entire life cycle of a covered process.
