Leading Indicators - SRCR and Integrity Assurance (formerly IM) Notifications

PHMSA tracks Safety-Related Condition Reports (SRCR) and Integrity Assurance (formerly IM) Notifications submitted by operators to monitor the effectiveness of integrity programs and safety management systems before accidents, damages, or failures happen. PHMSA regulations include several exemptions from SRCR reporting. These exemptions limit the usefulness of SRCR as a leading indicator.
