Overview

All operational integrity and process safety programs are built on a foundation of complete, accurate, and timely technical information. For example, a process hazards analysis requires that up-to-date and accurate piping and instrument diagrams be provided to the team, operating procedures require information about process limits, and the asset integrity program requires information about equipment and piping. Moreover, regulations and standards require that good written records be maintained so that outside auditors can evaluate the status of the integrity management systems. This chapter provides guidance to do with the development and implementation of a system for managing technical information.
