API 510/ISI PVPP, PAUT/TOFD (PCN), Pipeline Integrity
So that happened!
Huge shoutout to Todd Smith with Kinetic Inspection & Testing Ltd. for the prep course, definitely made all the difference in passing on the first attempt!
Congratulations Daniel Ogunniyi To receive this Certificate of Award, Daniel had to populate a 130-page plus IQ OQ PQ protocol to qualify a Clean-in-Place System in a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.
The protocol detailed the following elements:
- Product characteristics – showing what your system is looking to achieve/produce
- Production equipment – detailing the equipment necessary
- Test scripts and methods – telling you the steps involved in conducting a test
- Test parameters and acceptance criteria – defining acceptable test results
- Test checksheets – documenting and recording the test results
- Final approval – documenting that the validation process has been successfully carried out.
And to complete this assignment, Daniel had to learn the following:
- How to prioritise which parts of the equipment system are critical to qualify and which parts are not etc, using component impact assessments and risk management tools.
- How to read/interpret the engineering documentation such as P&IDs, Piping Isometrics and Electrical Loop Drawings used to define the equipment system.
- How the intent of a process (like maintaining the product at the required temperature) is linked to the equipment that will be used to do this.
- The tests along with the functional test scripts necessary to confirm that the installed equipment is fit-for-purpose, i.e. that it will do what it states that it will do based on the User Requirement Specifications).
- How to use a traceability matrix tool to ensure that all requirements defined within the User Requirement Specifications (URS) are tested in the protocol.
- How to qualify equipment, instruments and piping systems, and automation controls.
Well done again on your hard work!
I’m delighted to receive my Certificate of Award in ‘Commissioning & Qualification of Equipment Systems’ from GetReskilled. I would ike to extend my utmost grattitude to Donagh Fitzgerald for assisting in the completion of this course.
CVSA & FMCSA Working Towards An Operational Test of In-Motion CMV Inspections (Level VIII Inspections)
In collaboration with CVSA, FMCSA’s goal is to enable Level VIII Inspections by working with States and technology vendors to provide the capability to make the electronic transfer of the Level VIII data possible, and by implementing an operational test to measure the impact of adding in-motion inspections as another tool for monitoring motor carrier safety compliance.
The Level VIII is not currently in effect, but CVSA and FMCSA are pushing strongly to deploy it across the United States and potentially Canada. Trials are expected in 2024.

Picture this: You're in a bustling city, but instead of skyscrapers, there are towering oil rigs and chemical plants. These industrial giants are the heart of our modern world, but they come with a catch - they're hazardous zones where a tiny spark could spell disaster.
Enter SGS, the ultimate superhero team for testing and certification. With the precision of a laser beam and the expertise of a seasoned pro, SGS ensures that electronic products designed for these hazardous locations are up to the challenge.
But what exactly is this challenge? Let's break it down:
Intrinsic safety is like giving gadgets a suit of armor, shielding them from sparks and explosions. It's the ultimate safety net in a high-stakes environment.
Now, Class 2, Division 1 is like mapping out the danger zones. It's identifying where the bad stuff can happen and making sure our gadgets are equipped to handle it.
And here's where SGS shines: with their unrivaled knowledge, skill, and abilities, they put products through the wringer, testing, inspecting, and verifying every nook and cranny to ensure they meet the highest safety standards.
So, whether it's a rugged tablet for an oil rig worker or a precision instrument for a chemical plant engineer, SGS has got it covered. With SGS on your side, you can rest easy knowing that your products are not just safe, but superhero safe, ready to take on any challenge in the hazardous zones of our world. #sgs#intrinsicsafety#hazloc#hazardouslocations#safetyhttps://lnkd.in/dxGdj7qw
Hello dears;
-->> A Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) is a Safety Critical Element (SCE), and its maintenance, operation, and spare parts management demand meticulous attention. In this lesson learned, you'll discover best practices for effectively managing PSVs in your plant to prevent unwanted incidents, including the explosion highlighted in this insightful document by the European Process Safety Centre (EPSC).

Fail alert! 🚫⚡ Today's inspection uncovered exposed parts on this equipment, wrapped in tape. Safety first at Test Master – let's keep it secure. #TestMaster#SafetyFail#ExposedParts
Hello again fellow Linkers.I taught a class yesterday on MRM principles and Human Factors.We discussed how to use all available resources to carry out aircraft maintenance tasks efficiently,effectively and safely,to ensure our aircraft are compliant and fit for release to service.Also with Human Factors,we discussed the "dirty dozen" and their mitigating factors or safety defences.
Also as part of our discussions, this incident was talked about.
How the safety defences failed when the "cheese holes aligned" and thus this outcome.
We discussed how an individual's slip,lapse,error or negligence can have ripple effects within the organization,stakeholders and our customers.
Some errors can be latent and be systematic in nature and may never manifest itself until an active error exposed them.
Our MRM/HF training strives to create a safety mindset and error free performance for our maintenance teams.Always remember "Bad outcomes,like Good outcomes are a team effort".
To safer skies and beyond, have a blessed day.
