Contact Us Today: info@PiControlSolutions.com, Tel: (832) 495 6436

Duration: 1 Day Classroom or 8 hours Online
Audience: Operators, Technicians, Engineers, Supervisors and Managers.
Prerequisites: None
Course Material: Training slides and hand-outs.

Course Description and Objectives: Despite advances and improvements on safety in modern-day plant operation, injuries, illnesses and fatalities on-the-job still happen. The course covers most common areas of safety related to plant operation, startup, commissioning and maintenance. A unique aspect of the course is that it also discusses how process control schemes and strategies may be used to increase operational safety. The course also aims at increasing safety awareness and reducing both on-the-job and off-the-job safety-related incidences.

Learning Outcomes

After completion of the course, attendees will be familiar with important safety concepts relevant to chemical plants. They will be more aware of hazards and will be more cognizant of imminent dangers. Course attendees are likely to operate and work safer than ever before and contribute to improved company safety records.
