• Emergency response planning.

Day 4
Integrity Management Planning (IMP)
• Developing an Integrity Management Plan (IMP).
• Setting key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Inspection and maintenance scheduling.
• Documentation, reporting, and record-keeping.

Day 5
Inspection, Testing, and Monitoring
• Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods: ultrasonic, radiography, magnetic particle.
• Condition monitoring techniques (vibration analysis, thermography).
• Data acquisition and interpretation.
