B11.TR8:2022

This Technical Report introduces three categories of inspections; conversational inspections, visual inspections, and technical inspections. Applying the appropriate category to existing inspections improves communication, safety culture, and risk reduction measures. Although each of the three categories provide a benefit, it is not necessary for all categories to be used. The template checklists which are included may be modified to produce "organizational specific" checklists by either internal or external subject matter experts. This Technical Report contains supporting inspection checklist templates. The checklist templates will provide guidance for the organization's inspection systems, by focusing on conversational, visual and technical inspection checklists. Informative Note: See the table of contents for a listing of a variety of informative example annexes. This Technical Report will provide an in-depth analysis of two concurrent PDCA processes of the Inspection Requirements Team ("R") and the Inspection Task Team ("T"). The contents of this Technical Report will provide guidance for, but not be limited to: - leadership commitment; - improved quality; - efficiency of the organization's inspection processes; and - support safety sustainability efforts.
