Introduction
This intensive course is designed to provide the participant with an understanding of the characteristics of flammable materials, classification of hazardous locations, types of equipment used in hazardous locations, typical wiring systems, and inspection and maintenance guidelines. Hazardous areas exist in many industrial and commercial facilities where process information is gathered using sensors, switches, and manually operated controls. Hazardous conditions can exist during normal daily operations as a result of the release of flammable materials into the atmosphere. Releases can occur due to leaks at valves and pipe flanges, from routine maintenance where a seal is being replaced, or where a process results in the regular escape of gases and vapors. In many jurisdictions, either government or company-mandated training is required for personnel working in these environments. There are many occupations and workers employed in this sector of the industry that is affected by the safety requirements for working in hazardous locations. Upon completion of this course, participants will understand the hazardous conditions associated with working in industrial and commercial oil and gas production facilities.
Objectives
- Learn about fire triangles, flammable limits, and gas density
- Learn about methods used to classify hazardous areas and the hazards associated with these areas, including flammable gases or vapors, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers
- Fully understand the objective of selecting electrical equipment and the means of installation to reduce the hazard of the electrical apparatus to an acceptable level
- Gain an understanding of the wiring systems that travel within the different classified areas, as well as the relevant installation codes and practices
- Understand that apparatus will only remain approved or certified if it is maintained in accordance with the recommendations provided by manufacturers and the relevant construction standards
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for Electrical and Instrumentation Technicians working in the field as an introduction or refresher. This course can also be applicable to employees working with equipment purchasing, procurement, storage, and job planning, as well as immediate supervisors to the working technicians.
