BS EN 60079 -17 Ensure regulatory compliance of equipment installed in potentially hazardous areas: • make sure that equipment has an inspection and maintenance plan in accordance with BS EN 60079 -17 • so that it continues to be safe to operate and • this can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the HSE “Having abandoned our paper record system for electronic records I estimate an increase in resource availability of around 40%. ” Proven systems for managing asset integrity & reliability
Case Study - Background • No easy visibility of ex equipment register • Costly reactive maintenance • Senior engineer spending 25% of his time transferring information from paper to Excel spread sheets • 2 year inspection regime due to lack of maintenance documentation • Danger of HSE Improvement Notice “I can quantify faults, prepare reports with less effort and it is so much easier to answer HSE questions. ” Proven systems for managing asset integrity & reliability
Implementation • Data cleanse of existing information • Import multiple Excel registers into Ind. Ex database • Download inspections to zone 1 safe PDA for collection of data • Upload inspection data directly into Ind. Ex database from PDA • Access to the same database from multiple PC’s across plant “Delivers greater control over contracts and offers high levels of assurance for HSE critical tasks. ” Proven systems for managing asset integrity & reliability
Benefits • Easy visibility of remedials required with ability to quickly prioritise • Accurate up-to-date ex equipment register • Planned, proactive maintenance • 3 year inspection regime implemented • Significant reduction in administration • Demonstration of regulatory compliance “We’re on target to achieve first year savings of £ 300, 000. ” Proven systems for managing asset integrity & reliability
