Input to the format to the course
 “Safe and effective pipeline operation requires awareness and management of
many linked activities, yielding complex processes… Managing processes requires
different techniques than managing individual activities.”

– Basically a high level document focused on the essentials and not the details of
“How to make it work effectively”
– Course input on the framework and elements of API RP 1173 has been taken
from the first edition, July 2015 as provided in this course.

– Course input on the basic elements is mainly taken (and acknowledged) directly
from presentations made at publicly available workshops and other meetings
and including those made by PHMSA, NTSB, NEB, FAA and others.
