Introduction to Hazardous Areas & Protection Techniques
As part of our comprehensive range of training services, Introduction to Hazardous Areas & Protection Techniques is a one day course.
This course provides an overview of both technical and legislative aspects of the manufacture and installation of equipment intended for use in Hazardous Areas.
It is suitable for practitioners/managers/supervisors/engineers/operators requiring an introduction to the subject and as a foundation for other more specific courses run by Baseefa.
The first part of the course concentrates on ensuring a fundamental understanding of the nature of explosions and ignition sources, so that what follows is placed in a coherent technical context. Although some attendees will already know some of the physics and chemistry, this is presented in such a way that it is expected that all attendees will learn something new. The only prior knowledge assumed is that of handling a Bunsen burner at some stage.
Run at our Baseefa premises at pre-scheduled dates throughout the year, this course can also be held at manufacturers premises for up to 12 members of your personnel.
The course includes :
Introduction
