Abstract :
Continuous supervision is a new concept intended to replace certain periodic maintenance and record keeping required by IEC 60079-19. This paper compares maintenance practices in European facilities to North American plants including regulatory, permit and lockout/tagout requirements, qualifications and training issues, and engineering support. This paper introduces the concept of continuous supervision as a source of cost reductions
