Safety Equipment in Oil and Gas Industry
Details :
Oil and gas companies are repeatedly cited by regulatory
organizations for poor training and maintenance on providing safety equipment
to their refinery workers. Managers of refinery and petrochemical plants are
responsible for instructing their workers with the types of equipment
available, how to properly wear the equipment, how to properly care and
maintain the equipment, and, most importantly, it’s their responsibility to
enforce these regulations and safety requirements. While there are many
reference materials on the subject, most are too broad to apply directly to the
unique and highly volatile atmosphere of an oil and gas operation. Safety
Equipment for the Oil and Gas Industries answers the call for safety managers
onsite as well as workers to understand all the safety equipment available
specifically for the energy sector. This course is designed to inform on
several types of personnel protective clothing, firefighting protective clothing,
respiratory protective devises available as well as many other types of
protective equipment including fall protection and vehicle safety belts and
harnesses.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
✓ Identify the different types of safety and protective equipment specific
to the oil and gas industry
✓ Enumerate the types and selection of breathing apparatus used for safety
and protection that
includes hose, respirators, masks and other respiratory
equipment
✓ Select, inspect and maintain the use of respiratory and safety
protective equipment
✓ List all the personal safety protective equipment such as for head
protection recommended for
construction, eye protection, hand protection, ear
protection, foot protection, body protection and
face protection
✓ Determine protection against radiation
✓ Apply first aid as well as sanitation in plants and workshops
✓ Use safety belts, safety portable ladders and safety firefighting
equipment
This course is intended for oil and gas Facility Managers,
Safety Engineers, Safety Inspectors, Maintenance Engineers and Managers,
Operation Managers, Risk Managers, drilling companies and Operators, Product
Manufacturers and Designers, safety training organisations, Pipeline Engineers,
Process Engineers and Managers and Corrosion Engineers.
