Customer Challenge
It is not uncommon for inspection activities and frequencies to have remained unchanged from those developed at the time of commissioning.
To ensure an optimised approach, operators should periodically review these activities to ensure that they are both appropriate and not unduly onerous.
The challenge in doing this is the reluctance to move from the known practice due to the perceived risk.
