Dear Oliver

Vision 2020 2019 has been an outstanding year for EEMUA, with many of our events requiring us to reach for superlatives.The EEMUA Conference in March 2019 was our biggest ever, and we had fantastic feedback on both organisation and content. I am convinced that a major part of the reason for its success was the deep involvement of the Conference Committee, ensuring that it reflected what industry wanted. Later that month I was honoured to receive on behalf of EEMUA the Best Terminal Supplier Award 2019 at the Tank Storage Awards in Rotterdam, for our work on EEMUA 159. As I said at the time “EEMUA 159 has had some famous names in the world of tank storage leading efforts to put it together over the past 25 years; John de Wit, Hans Kuipers, Jan de Jong, and current chair of the working group, Robin Essenius. More importantly there has been an army of volunteer experts drawn from EEMUA member companies who have contributed to the guidance, ensuring it represents good and best practice as carried out by the user community. It is they who have kept it relevant for the past 25 years, and who are working to keep it relevant in the future. I just get to pick up this award for them.” The Tank Storage Seminar in November helped kick off the silver anniversary for this world-renowned guidance, and the technical programme for this busy event included the first presentation by the UK Health and Safety Executive on the findings of the investigation into the Chevron refinery incident in 2011 where four people lost their lives. This was a sobering reminder of how important safe methods of working are, and how tragic the consequences can be when things go wrong. EEMUA 159 was the topic for our biggest ever webinar, with over 450 attendees connecting to it. The next two topics have been arranged for 2020 as the webinar programme continues to establish itself as a key part of the EEMUA offering.  2019 also marks the first ever EEMUA “Early Years Industry Award”, won by Matty Smith from P66 from a strong field of entries. This will be run in 2020 as well; keep an eye out for entry details. We have continued to visit Member sites to make sure we listen to what Members want from us, with my team and I visiting sites in Guernsey and Finland, as well as many in the UK. We have always been well received, and I’m grateful to all those who’ve taken time out of a busy schedule to meet us. We hope there will be more superlatives, but we will be happy to continue doing what we are here for; helping Members and stakeholders around the world improve the safety, efficiency and compliance of the industrial assets which are critical to our way of life. EEMUA is acutely aware that many employees of Member organisations will be working over the holiday period. We hope you get some time to spend with your families, and on behalf of the Association I thank you all for your support and look forward to working with you in 2020. Stefan Kukula Chief Executive / EEMUA

EEMUA blended learning Mechanical Integrity is the focus of our first ever blended learning course, the Mechanical Integrity Practitioner Certificate. A pilot was conducted during 2019, and the first full course begins in January 2020. The course was developed with the input of a broad cross section of EEMUA membership and is tailored to provide useful learning geared to each learner’s workplace. Lasting for six months, it includes material based on EEMUA 231, guidance produced with the UK Health and Safety Executive, as well as other EEMUA publications, and is focused on the primary containment of hazardous materials and effective management of process and plant safety risks. The flexible online learning delivery and assessment, and robust certification means that learners do not have to be away from site for long periods in order to obtain relevant, industry accepted competence in a safety critical area, with appropriate evidence for stakeholders.   EEMUA e-learning    Another facet of the Association becoming indispensable to members is the e-learning suite, with many organisations making it a part of their on-boarding process for new entrants at graduate level and above. More e-learning modules have now been taken than all our classroom courses, and it has become an important way of first engaging with EEMUA. Recent additions include modules on Mechanical Integrity and Control Rooms. We expect further e-learning modules to be produced, and will continue to develop our new blended learning platform. You can keep up-to-date with the EEMUA e-learning programme and related issues and topics via our new EEMUA e-learning Showcase page on LinkedIn. Alternatively, let us know your question by contacting online-learning@eemua.org.

Upcoming Events for 2020   We have a full event programme in place. The seminars are free of charge for employees of Member and Associate companies and cover a wide variety of topics, from cyber security through to inspection.    If you are interested in speaking at any of our events, do get in touch. Details of how to make a proposal is available on our website.

Publications The technical output of EEMUA in 2019 included the first industry guidance dealing with high temperature hydrogen attack, as well as a publication including research work establishing a new approach to post weld heat treatment. The update to our subsea materials guidance explicitly referenced use for renewable energy for the first time. We will keep you posted of release dates for each as they are confirmed.

Keep on top of your professional development - on-site, off-site or on-call

It is increasingly challenging to keep on top of work and stay current with all you need to maintain mechanical integrity of plant and equipment that contains hazardous substances. The challenge is more difficult when time for training is scarce.

EEMUA has developed the new Mechanical Integrity Practitioner Certificate (MIPC®) course of blended online training to give engineers the flexibility to learn while on-site, off-site or on-call, individually or in teams.

Sought by industry

Industrial engineering’s major companies called for in-depth, on-site learning with robust testing and certification for people working in mechanical integrity at the practitioner competency level. These EEMUA member companies specified their exact requirements of engineers working on high-hazard sites. Experts from within industry then designed EEMUA's MIPC® training from the ground up to satisfy all those company specifications, together with regulatory requirements and industry's existing good practices.

?Flexible, in-depth training

The EEMUA MIPC course provides flexible learning with live, online classes (recorded for review), one-to-one tutorials and e-learning, all enhanced with the support of a Mentor. The Learner’s approximate time commitment is estimated to be 4 hours per week over 27 weeks. Throughout the course, the learning is tailored to the specific needs of your company and site(s).

?For Practitioner-level professionals

Aimed at professionals with three-five years’ experience and relevant qualifications, the EEMUA MIPC course is based on industry guidance and good practice collected in EEMUA Publication 231, and has particular relevance to work under UK legislation. The MIPC course expands coverage to include key parts of EEMUA Publication 177 Guide to the UK Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (2000),  EEMUA Publication 232 - Specifying, procuring and managing third party inspection services and HSE PSSR ACOP L122 (Second edition). 

Certification valid for 5 years

A final assessment leads to an industry-recognised certification that remains valid for five years. Registration is open now for the next MIPC course with learning that begins in January 2020. Course fees are discounted for EEMUA Members.

Please find the MIPC® brochure attached and for more information on the MIPC course please contact online-learning@eemua.org, or call +44 (0)20 7488 0801.

We look forward to you joining our MIPC course, which has been shortlisted for 'Best E-Learning / Online Education Initiative' in the memcom membership excellence awards 2020. Meanwhile, please forward this email to colleagues who may be interested in EEMUA’s MIPC course.

EEMUA continues building its strong portfolio of publications for the electrical, instrumentation and control engineering sector with the most recent publication being EEMUA 242. EEMUA has many more guidance, good practice and specification documents that can help with your engineering work around electrical, instrumentation and control - a selection of which is highlighted below. There are many ways that EEMUA can help with engineering matters, please ask us!   

EEMUA Publication 242 - Proof testing good practice for Instrumented protective systems This first edition guidance outlines good practice in proof testing Instrumented protective systems (IPS) and writing proof testing procedures. EEMUA 242 covers an area outside of most standards that is a steep learning curve without guidance, and is intended for site engineers working with system designers on new IPS and legacy IPS where documentation of the design is incomplete. EEMUA 242’s emphasis is on practical aspects of proof testing based on the experiences of testing real process plant equipment and has been extensively reviewed by industry practitioners. The guidance recognises that each process plant has specific requirements and operating constraints, and in practice out of service end-to-end testing may be rarely achievable. Applying EEMUA 242 may assist in fulfilling some elements of Clause 16 of IEC 61511-1, which places specific requirements on Safety instrumented functions (SIFs) that are IPS protecting safety hazards with a required integrity of SIL (Safety integrity level) 1 or above. This guidance should be applied to IPS which are SIFs, and may be applied to other IPS, including those protecting non-safety hazards or those with below SIL1 integrity.  Order your copy now!

EEMUA Publication 191 Alarm systems - a guide to design, management and procurement Alarm systems are essential to operator interfaces of large, modern industrial facilities, helping prevent, control and mitigate abnormal situations by alerting operators to matters that need attention.

EEMUA Publication 177 - Guide to the UK Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (2000) EEMUA Publication 177 Edition 3 is a practical guide to interpreting the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR) that relate to periodic examination of pressure systems. This new edition of EEMUA 177 has expanded with updated guidance on postponing examinations within Regulation 9, and revised guidance on Regulation 10 for acting in cases of Imminent Danger – including a flowchart to aid Competent Persons when they consider referrals to the British Health and Safety Executive (HSE). EEMUA 177 gives additional guidance on modifying and repairing under Regulation 13, and also addresses Regulations 2, 7, 8 and Schedule 2. As well as being a good companion document to the HSE ‘Safety of Pressure Systems’ Approved Code of Practice (free from the HSE webiste), much of the general advice in EEMUA 177 is relevant to practice outside the UK.  Order your copy now!

EEMUA Publication 236 - Risk management of legacy systems with potential for excess overpressure EEMUA 236 Edition 1a provides guidance on developing a risk-based approach for managing overpressure for legacy systems. Forming a basis for understanding risk associated with exceeding code allowable overpressures, EEMUA 236 helps equipment operators decide whether procedural and/or physical plant modifications are required to maintain safe operations.  EEMUA 236 applies to legacy systems and defines a standardised approach that can aid prioritising efforts to achieve code compliance – helping operators focus action where it will reduce or eliminate risk fastest and most effectively. EEMUA 236 also sets out a framework for demonstrating the ALARP principle (As low as reasonably practicable) where strict adherence to code may not be easily achievable without incurring disproportionate or excessive cost.   Order your copy now!

EEMUA Publication 231 - The mechanical integrity of plant containing hazardous substances: a guide to periodic examination and testing EEMUA 231 provides guidance and good practice in safely managing stored energy and dangerous substances by maintaining integrity of systems and equipment through periodic examination and testing.  Approaching integrity management as a matter for the whole plant life cycle, EEMUA 231 provides guidance on relief streams to protect equipment or systems. The guidance positions leadership as fundamental to managing health and safety effectively and differentiates roles of Integrity Assessor and Competent Person. Developed and written by EEMUA and the Safety Assessment Federation (SAFed) in consultation with the HSE and other stakeholders, EEMUA 231 is based on the Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) model in UK PSSR and associated HSE Approved Code of Practice. A practical aid in daily and long-term tasks and processes, EEMUA 231 includes chapters on: risk-based inspection; legislative considerations; examination policy; reporting examinations and post-examination integrity assessment; change, review and audit; postponing exams; and more.  Order your copy now!

Keep on top of your professional development - on-site, off-site or on-call

It is increasingly challenging to keep on top of work and stay current with all you need to maintain mechanical integrity of plant and equipment that contains hazardous substances. The challenge is more difficult when time for training is scarce.

EEMUA has developed the new Mechanical Integrity Practitioner Certificate (MIPC^®) course of blended online training to give engineers the flexibility to learn while on-site, off-site or on-call, individually or in teams.

Sought by industry

Industrial engineering’s major companies called for in-depth, on-site learning with robust testing and certification for people working in mechanical integrity at the practitioner competency level. These EEMUA member companies specified their exact requirements of engineers working on high-hazard sites. Experts from within industry then designed EEMUA's MIPC^® training from the ground up to satisfy all those company specifications, together with regulatory requirements and industry's existing good practices.

?Flexible, in-depth training

The EEMUA MIPC course provides flexible learning with live, online classes (recorded for review), one-to-one tutorials and e-learning, all enhanced with the support of a Mentor. The Learner’s approximate time commitment is estimated to be 4 hours per week over 27 weeks. Throughout the course, the learning is tailored to the specific needs of your company and site(s).

?For Practitioner-level professionals

Aimed at professionals with three-five years’ experience and relevant qualifications, the EEMUA MIPC course is based on industry guidance and good practice collected in EEMUA Publication 231, and has particular relevance to work under UK legislation. The MIPC course expands coverage to include key parts of EEMUA Publication 177 Guide to the UK Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (2000),  EEMUA Publication 232 - Specifying, procuring and managing third party inspection services and HSE PSSR ACOP L122 (Second edition). 

Certification valid for 5 years

A final assessment leads to an industry-recognised certification that remains valid for five years. Registration is OPEN NOW for the next MIPC course – with Induction to suit your schedule now to 8 January 2021 and learning starting on 11 January 2021. Course fees are discounted for EEMUA Members.

Please find the MIPC® brochure attached and for more information on the MIPC course please contact online-learning@eemua.org, or call +44 (0)20 7488 0801.
