Introduction: Risk-based inspection is a powerful tool provided by the American Petroleum Institute in order to respond to the needs of the process industries. The main focus of this method is on inspection, integrity management, maintenance, as well as reduction of the probability of failure. The purpose of this study was to conduct the risk-based inspection technique and critical success factors in its implementation to improve risk and process safety based management systems. Methods: In this review study, we first listed the keywords based on the research title including Critical Success Factors, risk assessment, process safety, corrosion management, inspection Plan, failure mechanism, Risk Based Inspection, Risk Based Maintenance, Risk-based Integrity Management, and Asset Integrity Management. Later, each term was searched specifically and without time limit in the internal and external databases of Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, Google Search, Magiran, Civilica, and Scopus. Result: A systematic review of various studies showed that critical success factors provided the necessary context for the implementation of a risk-based inspection process in the process industries and were essential factors for the effective implementation of the RBI method. Conclusion: By analyzing the results of the studies we found that identifying CSFs can improve the effective implementation of RBI in industries and guarantee the benefits mentioned for this method. Moreover, the engineering and accurate implementation of risk-based inspection method will lead to the best implementation of management systems based on the risk and process safety and its improvement.
Introduction: Workers' accident-proneness is considered as an inherent and coherent feature in incidence of occupational accidents. Therefore, recognizing its determinants could be effective in preventing such accidents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of work locus of control and general health on accident-proneness with the regard to the mediating role of effort-reward imbalance. Methods: This analytical and cross-sectional research was conducted in 2018 using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least square approach. In total, 225 employees with a history of occupational accidents in Esfahan Steel Company were selected. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-23 and SMARTPLS3. Results: The obtained results indicated that the measurement and structural models were fitted. In addition, results demonstrated that all assumptions of the research were significant with the exception of the general health effect on accident proneness. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that by controlling the work environment stressors, such as balancing effort-reward, could reduce the accident- proneness. In addition, by checking the general health and work locus of control to prevent the occupational accidents in the sieving process, people with internal control should be selected for stressful occupations.
Introduction: To prevent accidents and minimize the risk of unexpected disasters in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, an inspection of equipment in terms of mechanical integrity and safe and consistent service providing are of utmost importance. The purpose of this study is integrated risk and asset management by implementing risk-based inspection techniques in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. Methods: Firstly, this systematic review study identified a list of keywords based on RBI and then exclusively on the internal and external databases of Science Direct, Pub med, Google Squalor, SDI, Google Searcher, and Scopus without a time limit. Afterward, keywords, including risk management, probability of failure, asset integrated management, risk-based inspection, consequences of failure, and corrosion management, were searched. Result: A review of various studies showed that the risk-based inspection approach provided the necessary platform for upgrading and formulating new inspection, repair, maintenance, equipment risk management systems and asset integration in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries and played a significant role in reducing the risk levels to its acceptable limits. Conclusion: By analyzing the results of studies, it was found that using this method will lead to the effective implementation of risk management, reliability, and corrosion management in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. In fact, the system intended to provide process safety, increase risk perception of damage in line with the respective risk management, and ensure the integrity of the assets in operational units.
Introduction: In the petrochemical industry, there are various harmful factors that lack of attention and proper management will have adverse consequences for the organization and employees. The aim of this study was to Identifying and assessment the health hazards of the petrochemical industry using the localized JHA method. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study that conducted in one of Iran's petrochemicals, in order to assess the health risk caused by harmful factors was used from localized JHA method. First, after determining the desired job and dividing it into job duties, the number of tasks was specified. Then, in order to calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN), from multiplication of 3 factors of probability of occurrence, severity and frequency of exposure was used. All calculations were performed by Excell. Results: The results showed that from 353 calculated risks, 93.48% of the total risks are at the acceptable risk level, 4.82% of the risks are at the low importance level and 1.7% is at risk level with medium importance. Also, at between the studied hazards, ergonomic harmful factors with 22%, had the highest frequency and biological harmful factors with 1% had the lowest frequency of hazards. Conclusion: Regarding to importance of health hazards, in addition to identifying and evaluating them, it is necessary to determine and implement appropriate management measures to reduce and control of risk levels to prevent from accidents and related occupational diseases and the heavy costs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
