Building Competency on
Fire and Explosion Hazard Control

Through effective safety training, members in an organization can understand the unsafe conditions of a process that can lead to harmful or disastrous consequences, so that they can identify hazardous conditions and take appropriate actions in their works such as project planning, design, purchasing, manufacturing, and maintenance to ensure safety.

 

Companies rely on the knowledge, skills, and experience of their staff to ensure an acceptable levels of process safety in their facilities. Knowing the potential knowledge gaps is critical for achieving this goal. Our training courses are designed to fill the potential knowledge gaps and building up competency of your staff on the fire and explosion subject matters.

 

Our courses cover the following important subjects of process safety:

 

• Dust Explosion Hazards and Controls - These courses explain how dust explosion and fire hazards arise, and discuss how these hazards can be minimized or controlled. The courses present the practical techniques available for both preventing dust explosions and protecting people and facilities, and discuss the effectiveness of various techniques for your processes and operations.

 

• Electrostatic Hazards and Controls – These courses explain how and where electrostatic charge is generated, how electrostatic spark is produced, and how electrostatic sparks can ignite various flammable and/or combustible gases, liquids, and dusts. While electrostatic phenomena may appear to be erratic, these courses present and discuss how to analyze electrostatic hazards, and what effective solutions can be applied to your processes and operations.

​​

• Flammable Gases and Liquid Hazards and Controls - These courses illustrate how flammable gases and liquid fires, and explosions can be initiated easily, how gas and liquid fires and explosions can be easily accelerated by environmental factors, and how we can minimize the likelihood of ignition and minimize the consequences of gas and liquid fires and explosions. The courses present the practical techniques available for both preventing gas and liquid fires and explosions, and discuss the effectiveness of various techniques for your processes and operations.

 

• Self-Heating/Spontaneous Combustion Hazards and Controls – These courses illustrate the chemical and physical principles of self-heating/spontaneous combustion, and explain why fires and ensuing explosions can occur without an apparent external ignition sources. We will devote most of the time to discuss ways to minimize this ignition risk and the consequences of such events.

 

• Electrical (Hazardous) Area Classifications - These courses explain why Electrical Area Classifications are based on fire and explosion hazard assessments, and how manufacturing and other facilities that handle or process flammable materials (powders, gases and vapors) can be classified in order to effectively and cost-effectively prevent the electrical ignition hazards.
