b) Not screening multi-units to know where to use RBI first.
c) Not defining the physical and operating boundaries adequately.
d) Not defining the operating time period for the risk assessment.
e) Not adequately defining the time required and resources needed for the project.
f) Not having full management support for the necessary RBI resources.
g) Unrealistic expectations for the results of RBI.

Incorrectly ruling out damage mechanisms thought to be inactive.
c) Operating outside the established IOWs or not properly identifying the correct IOW limits.
d) Not understanding the impact of damage mechanisms on pressure equipment resulting from
operating outside the IOWs.
e) Using software or methodologies that do not cover all active damage mechanisms.
f) Inadequate definition of failure modes associated with each damage mechanism.
g) Inadequate definition of damage rates for each damage mechanism
a) Not addressing all probably and credible damage mechanisms when determining POF.
b) Not understanding the interaction of multiple damage mechanisms in each piece of
equipment.
c) Not defining the specific POF units of measure to be used.
d) Not using the most appropriate POF methodology for the situation.
e) Using generic POFs instead of equipment specific POFs.
f) Inadequate assessment of past effectiveness of inspections.
g) Inadequate assessment of susceptibility to each damage mechanism.
h) Inadequate assessment of damage rates.
a) Using “black box” software without understanding all the calculations and algorithms.
b) Failure to identify the specific consequence for each probable failure from each damage
mechanism.
c) Using inadequate assumptions in place of nonexisting or poor quality data/information.
d) Using overestimated or under-estimated POFs and/or COFs in the risk determination.
e) Not adequately handling uncertainties.
f) Inadequate risk presentation or communication to stakeholders.
g) Not having risk acceptance criteria/thresholds.
h) Inappropriate or untimely risk management activities.

activities.
