Description
Every year, flash fires and explosions in industrial settings result in fatalities, injuries, environmental damage and serious community and economic impacts. These flash fires and explosions involve the flammable or combustible liquids and powders that are integral to most industrial processes. With the understanding and application of good Process Safety practices, many of these flash fires and explosions can be prevented. This course will provide an overview of how flash fire and explosion hazards arise in manufacturing processes, how they can be systematically identified and assessed, and how the most appropriate basis of safety can be selected and applied in practice.
In-person participants: *Please note: Only participants registering for two (2) half-day PDCs on the same day will receive a box lunch. **Please note: power strips will not be provided at each attendee's seat; however, charging stations for laptops will be provided in each course room.
