Fires and explosions hazards training course
Delivered by industry experts
Course objectives and scope
An essential part of the management of major accident hazards and process safety is the understanding of the consequences of accidental release.
This two-day course combines both classroom sessions and large-scale demonstrations, giving delegates a unique in-depth insight into dispersion, explosions and fires.
With this, delegates will have an appreciation of the potential hazards of hydrocarbon installations.
