This International Hydrocarbon Safety training course will be instrumental in reducing incidents and increasing profits. Incidents are rarely caused by a single catastrophic failure, but rather by multiple events or failures that coincide. Unfortunately, incidents keep occurring with losses that may be singularly horrendous or seemingly small but, in the end, add up to the difference in operating a profitable organisation or a loss-making enterprise.
Leading Authorities in Hydrocarbon Safety are OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States) the HSE (Health and Safety Executive of the United Kingdom) and the European Commission on the Environment. This training course will study what these Authorities have to offer in terms of advice and legislation within their own jurisdictions. It is an excellent practice to look not only what is applicable in terms of policies and procedures within our own organisation but also what has been developed in other countries.
At the end of this International Hydrocarbon Safety training course, you will learn to:
- Understand what process safety is
- Explain the need for HAZOP studies
- Develop fire prevention programmes
- Apply best practice in process safety
- Determine if there are gaps within your Hydrocarbon Safety programmes
This International Hydrocarbon Safety Training course is presented face to face and will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes presentations of videos, real world case studies and discussions that will enhance the learning process. The power point slides will be available to all delegates in both soft and hard copy. Active participation is encouraged throughout the training.
The organisation sending staff to this training course will gain by:
- Understanding the internationally accepted standards for hydrocarbon safety
- The professional development of staff
- Staff having a wider knowledge base in hydrocarbon safety
- The capability of staff to execute process start-ups more efficiently
- The ability to improve their present working systems
- A reduction in incidents
Upon completion of this Energy Training Centre course, participants will have gained:
- An understanding of the different Process Safety legislation
- The knowledge for fire prevention programs
- Confidence in how hydrocarbon safety can be improved
- Knowledge of the basics of the HAZOP Process
- Appreciation of the importance of Safety Reports
- A comprehension of how safe shift handover should be undertaken
