Safety In Process Design
Consultant/Trainer: Ronald Holleboom & Louk Kuijten
The Petrogenium. Safety in Process Design course is an indispensable course for all engineers in the oil refining, petrochemical and gas-processing (LNG) industry. This very popular course addresses all basic issues involved in technical safety and operability of a process plant. The course provides awareness on the implementation of basic technical safety principles into a process, awareness in applying and supporting company QHSSE policies and regulations already at the (process) design stage. (Given the course content this is only available face-to-face rather than online).
Participants
This Petrogenium course can be tailored for awareness/inexperienced staff, for intermediate and for experienced personnel. Furthermore the course can be customized for a specific refinery, plant or unit. The option for post-course consultancy/help-desk support is also available.
Participants may include: engineers or technologists who recently joined the industry but can be also highly beneficial to experienced engineers or selected operations staff.
