What is Covered in This Course

Welcome to the Introductory Course on Health and Safety in the Chemical and Process Industries

This 9-hour online course is designed to equip you with essential knowledge and practical awareness to ensure a safer working environment in refineries, chemical plants, and similar industrial settings. The course is divided into two structured modules:

Module 1: Safe Work Practices and Operational Hazards (Sections 1–7)

This module focuses on high-risk industrial activities and the systems in place to manage them safely:

  • Permit-to-Work Systems – Understand how permits help control hazardous work. 
  • Confined Space Entry – Learn the risks and necessary precautions.  
  • Working at Height – Explore methods to minimize fall hazards.  
  • Lifting Operations – Review safe lifting practices and equipment use.

To reinforce these lessons, the module concludes with a Virtual Plant Safety Tour, which highlights common safety mistakes observed in real industrial environments. This visual experience will help you recognize warning signs and adopt proactive safety behaviors.

Module 2: Chemical Hazards and Emergency Response (Sections 8–12)

This module provides in-depth awareness of the hazards associated with handling and storing industrial chemicals, including:

  • Toxic and Reactive Substances such as Hydrogen Sulphide (H₂S), Hydrogen Fluoride (HF), Anhydrous Ammonia (NH₃), Chlorine (Cl₂), Caustic Soda (NaOH), Acids, LPG, and more.
  • Safe handling and storage practices 
  • Personal protection measures  
  • Emergency response protocols for incidents such as Chemical spills,  BLEVEs (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions) and  VCEs (Vapor Cloud Explosions)

Additionally, the course includes analysis of real-life industrial accidents, presented in an easy-to-understand format, to communicate valuable lessons and prevent repeat incidents.

By completing this course, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself, your colleagues, and your facility. We encourage you to share your knowledge and experiences, as learning from one another is one of the most effective ways to build a culture of safety.

Stay engaged, stay safe, and thank you for choosing this course!
