TRAINING COURES – An essential part of safe manufacturing is the evaluation of processes and plant to identify sources o
hazard and to prescribe practical safety measures. To do this effectively requires technical knowledge of process safety and the practicaexperience of implementing safety measures in plant. The international safety consulting group, Chilworth Global, has put together series of training courses which have been designed to show how both operational and chemical hazards in manufacturing processes cabe systematically identified and assessed, and how the most appropriate basis of safety is selected and implemented.
Each Course is a One-Day Class from 9:00am – 5:00pm
FIRE EXPLOSION AND THERMAL HAZARDS TRAINING

COURSE DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES
This course will demonstrate how and where electrostaticcharge is generated, how to analyze static problems andhow to apply solutions. Practical static control techniques willbe illustrated by examining case histories of explosionincidents investigated by Chilworth Technology consultants.
Upon its completion, attendees will be able to assess howelectrostatic charge is generated in industrial environments.They will be able to recognize those electrostatic hazardsthat can trigger industrial fires and explosions, and will beable to choose methods to evaluate and control electrostaticcharge in order to reduce or eliminate such risks.

COURSE DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES
Incorrectly specified electrical and mechanical equipmentcan provide a significant source of ignition for flammableatmospheres. The hazardous area classification process isdesigned to identify locations within a process plant whereignitable atmospheres exist, and to determine their likely
extent. Using this information, the risk of ignition fromequipment and devices in the areas can be minimized byeither the specification of suitable equipment/devices, orrelocating them to a safe non-hazardous area.
Upon completion of this course, attendees will know theregulatory requirements of codes and standards for theclassification of hazardous areas, the hazards of fires andexplosions, and how to perform a hazardous areaclassification study. The course covers the classification ofareas where flammable atmospheres can arise from thepresence of combustible dusts, or flammable gases, andvapors, and ignition hazards that could be created byelectrical and non-electrical equipment and devices.

COURSE DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES
The risk analysis of reactive systems is an essential tool toensure safety prior to process operations. Reaction studyprovides an insight into the complex interaction of a widerange of factors that influence the probability andconsequences of undesired safety incidents involving
chemical reaction, energies, equipment, personnel andproductivity. This course will benefit attendees from a broadspectrum of backgrounds and job responsibilities includingchemical engineers, process engineers/scientists,plant/process safety/risk managers, facilities managers and allothers who need to be aware of the ri sks and hazards that canlead to accidents, injuries, property damage and businessinterruptions to the plant.
The course will help the attendees assess chemical reactivityby
Use of Chemical Engineering Principles to study thepotential runaway reactions for storage and reactor riskassessments
Small-scale studies
Performing risk analysis of chemical processes
Development of inherently safer processes
Problem solving sessions are included throughout the course.The course is designed with the expectation that problems willbe used to amplify and extend the material. It has been ourteaching experience that these workshops are an essential
part of the learning process.
In general this course is designed to identify and recognize thethermal and chemical reactivity hazards associated with achemical process based on the principles of scale-up anddevelopment. The participants will be able to decipher theresults of the preliminary screening tests by using thechemical engineering concepts relating to safe plant operationand will be well-versed with the latest techniques for theoptimization of the processes.
