This self-assessment tool has been created by the APGA PSMS Task Group. It is intended to introduce users to the elements of API RP 1173, while helping identify potential areas for improvement. Please select the answer that best represents the practices and policies within your system. There may not be an answer that matches perfectly, but we hope there is one that is close.

Each Statement set corresponds to one of the 50 "statements" found in the PSMS Industry Evaluation Tool. You'll notice that at this time not all 50 statements are represented in this APGA Planning Tool. Overtime we will be working to address all 50. (Date: October 29, 2018)

By answering each of these questions, a system will better learn where they are already aligning with the requirements and recommendations of API RP 1173 and where they might have an opportunity for improvement. Each Statement in this tool corresponds with a Statement from the Industry Planning Tool. To learn more about that tool please visit pipelinesms.org. 

The results of this self-assessment are confidential to the user and will not be shared externally by APGA. 

Note: At this time APGA does not have means to provide you with a full summary of your answers. Please feel free to print out the PDF version of this survey if you would like to keep a record of your responses.
