Course overview
Air and oxygen are products that can seem harmless, but in certain environments they can prove deadly if used or introduced at the wrong place or time.
This course will help you understand the basic principles for safe use of air and oxygen, within a range of different industries and equipment. You’ll be able to better understand each side of the fire triangle within the process industries, key and common sources of ignition, strategies for the prevention of flammable / explosive atmospheres, trapped residual pressure hazards and the specific hazards when working in oxygen enriched environments.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course, you will:
- better understand each side of the fire triangle
- be introduced to fires and explosions (deflagration vs detonation)
- review common sources of ignition which can cause process fires/explosions and how to manage these
- be introduced to strategies for the prevention of flammable/explosive atmospheres
- understand the hazards associated with trapped/residual pressure when working with compressed air
- look specifically at the hazards of working with oxygen and oxygen enriched environments
Who is it for?
Front-line operators, maintenance crews, engineers, regulators and managers.
Target industries
Renewable energy, food & drink, pharmaceuticals, power generation, water, steel, oil & gas, petrochemicals and refining.
