CAPS define the key aspects of safety-critical elements (SCEs), including equipment, procedures, personnel, inspections and verification necessary to preserve the integrity of the control measures that reduce the risk of a catastrophic major accident event (MAE).The process involves developing CAPS for integration into a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) as part of an overall Risk-Based Asset Management strategy that provides regulatory compliance and system reliability.

Conclusion
•
At the end of the CAPS development process, the following information will be available:
–
Comprehensive list of the critical assets and an understanding of their relationship to MAEs
–
Well-defined performance-based standards
–
Metrics for trending and continuous improvement
–
Documented maintenance tasks for critical assets
Leveraging CAPS within a Risk-Based Asset Management strategy provides the framework for effectively managing critical asset reliability.
