Ankaa Consulting – Pioneering Precision in Plant Safety and Efficiency.
Risk Based Inspection (RBI) is a structured methodology used to prioritize inspection activities based on risk, rather than fixed inspection intervals.
It combines Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF) to identify high-risk equipment and focus inspection resources where they matter most.
As a result, RBI helps organizations improve safety, reduce unplanned downtime, and optimize inspection costs across the asset lifecycle.

Why Risk Based Inspection Matters
Traditional time-based inspections often result in over-inspection of low-risk equipment and under-inspection of critical assets.
RBI addresses this gap by aligning inspection planning with actual risk.
With RBI, organizations can:
-
Focus inspections on high-risk equipment
-
Reduce unnecessary inspection scope
-
Improve asset reliability and availability
-
Support regulatory and audit requirements
