Process Safety Module 5

What is the purpose of Inspection, Testing, and Planned Maintenance (ITPM) tasks?

• To repair equipment and systems

• To address deficiencies in equipment

• To ensure proper design and installation

• To conduct scheduled maintenance activities

What is the first step in determining a maintenance strategy for equipment?

• Implementing the maintenance plan immediately

• Identifying all equipment that requires maintenance

• Skipping the criticality assessment

• Starting with the review and optimization process

True or False: Utilities should be designed and installed without considering process safety requirements.

• True

• False

Why is reliability and availability important for utilities in process safety management?

• To reduce maintenance costs

• To ensure efficient energy usage

• To support critical operations and safety systems

• To meet regulatory requirements

Adequate overcurrent protection devices, like circuit breakers & fuses, are installed to prevent electrical ___ & faults.

• overloads

• grounding

• bonding

• inspections

What is the purpose of grounding and bonding in electrical safety?

• To increase electrical energy discharge

• To prevent the buildup of static electricity

• To enhance the formation of potential ignition sources

• To reduce the level of electrical protection required

What is the initial step in the procedure for bypassing safety controls?

• Monitoring the operations

• Implementing the bypass

• Identifying the need and justifying the bypass

• Reporting the bypass

What must be conducted to evaluate the impact of bypassing safety controls?

• A financial audit

• A risk assessment

• An employee satisfaction survey

• A productivity analysis
