Fixed Equipment Mechanical Integrity Programs

This course delivers a powerful introduction to fixed equipment mechanical integrity (FEMI) by showing how past industrial events shaped the modern standards that protect people, facilities, and production today. Participants will explore the essential equipment used in processing hazardous materials and uncover how it degrades, how damage is detected, and why qualified inspectors and engineers are vital to preventing failures. Engaging examples and interactive discussions around process flow, process safety information, and operating workflows reveal how cross-functional teams, from operators to maintenance to inspection, collectively sustain asset health. The course breaks down the entire integrity assurance cycle, showing FEMI professionals how to forecast degradation, verify equipment condition, interpret inspection data, and document findings in a way that drives smarter decisions. With a practical look at regulatory requirements, auditing, incident investigations, and the role of robust written programs, attendees gain more than knowledge—they gain a framework for improved FEMI performance. Participants leave equipped to improve reliability, strengthen compliance, and contribute immediately to a safer, more reliable facility.
