Barrier management, maintenance and safety in the petroleum industry

Safety is the overall process of ensuring a safe environment for every included and associated object. This book sets out to analyse and present the purpose and meaning of safety, maintenance functions and management, maintenance indicators, barrier management and the importance and dependency between those. In barrier management and the phase of monitoring and improving existing solutions, maintenance has a significant role of making the barriers more relevant, efficient and resilient due to changes, time dependent wear and modifications in the systems. In addition, this is done in relation to the petroleum industry in Norway, and in collaboration with DNV GL, to develop an improved concept of barrier management.
