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.
