Requirements for Becoming a Risk Analyst

A risk analyst understands the risk/criticality methodology of a RBI program. Per API 580, risk assessment personnel should receive detailed training on the RBI methodology that is being utilized. This training is designed to meet the needs of inspectors and engineers who are calculating criticality/risk in an RBI program when making inspection planning decisions. We will review these training requirements and take you through the systematic process for these decisions with real world examples.
