Welcome to this introductory course on health and safety in the chemical and process industries.

This valuable 9 hour course is split into two separate modules.

In the first module (section 1 through 7), permit-to-work systems, confined spaces, work at height and lifting operations are covered in detail to raise awareness around these activities and to promote the adoption of safe designs and practices to avoid the occurrence of unnecessary incidents.

The module then ends with a virtual plant safety tour. Now, while it is obviously impossible to address every safety mistake ever made, we have included in this virtual plant tour, a valuable summary of the most frequent mistakes encountered in the field. This will further raise your awareness so that you will be able to recognize early signs of safety concerns.

The second module (section 8 through 12) covers the required awareness training on the hazards common to the handling, storage, processing and use of chemicals, routinely found in refineries and chemical plants. These hazardous substances include:

    • - Hydrogen sulphide (H2S)
    • - Nitrogen (N2)
    • - Hydrogen fluoride (HF)
    • - Anhydrous ammonia (NH3)
    • - Chlorine (Cl2)
    • - Caustic soda (NaOH)
    • - Acids
    • - Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
    • - …

For each hazardous substance, we will provide you with valuable insights into the measures you can take to protect yourself and your fellow workers, safe practices for storage and handling, and the correct response to emergency situations, involving incident events such as:

    • - chemical spills
    • - BLEVEs’ (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion)
    • - VCEs’ (Vapor Cloud Explosion)

In addition, numerous real-world accidents from the Oil & Gas and chemical industries are presented and discussed in an easy-to-understand format, with the sole objective to communicate lessons learned and avoid unnecessary safety incidents in the future.

We are confident that this valuable course will help you contribute to the safety of your facility, your fellow workers and yourself.

We strongly recommend you take the time to watch this valuable course carefully. The usefulness of this course is not limited to operating people, there are many useful applications for the maintenance, design and construction of facilities.

Please feel free to share your experience with others, since this is one of the most effective means of communicating lessons learned and avoiding unnecessary incidents in the future.

Thank you for your interest in our online courses. Enjoy this valuable course and stay safe out there.
