Which factors are incorporated into your inspection risk assessment?
*
Likelihood of failure or nonconformance
Potential impact or severity
Asset, process, or site criticality
Historical findings or performance
Changes in operating conditions
Regulatory or internal requirements

Does not distinguish well

Distinguishes very well

How are inspection intervals determined based on assessed risk?
*
Intervals are risk-based and documented
Intervals are partly risk-based, with significant fixed scheduling
Intervals are primarily fixed or calendar-based
Intervals are determined case by case without a consistent method
No defined approach
Rate the maturity of each element of your risk-based inspection process.

How are changes in risk or operating conditions reflected in inspection priorities?
*
Risk is reassessed when relevant changes occur
Risk is reassessed during scheduled reviews only
Changes are considered informally or inconsistently
Changes generally do not affect inspection priorities
