Ageing Plant and Life Extension
Overview
Steve will talk about the
safety challenges faced by the UK's offshore industry due
to the ageing nature of North Sea platforms, with over
half past their original design life. He will describe
the findings from HSE's "KP4" inspection programme, which
assessed how the industry was effectively controlling the risks to
asset integrity associated with ageing plant and life
extension, and will look at the lessons for the safe
management of old plant and equipment in other onshore
industries.
