An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Instrumentation in Hazardous Areas
Course Overview
Instrumentation is part and parcel of the modern world. Measurements are taken in many different forms. These could be pressure, temperature, level, flow, et cetera. Furthermore, the signals could either be discrete or analogue in nature. But very many organizations do not always have the benefit of operating in safe areas. Many organizations have to contend with hazardous areas, and instrumentation in these areas cannot be eliminated.
This training course aims at bridging the all-important areas of using instrumentation, but safely in a hazardous environment.
This training course will highlight:
- Identifying and quantifying hazardous areas
- Selecting appropriate instrumentation and other electrical equipment that can be used in a hazardous area
- Implementing the different explosion protection methodology, and understanding the operation
- Installing, inspecting, and maintaining equipment that has been certified for a hazardous area
Training Objectives
This training course is aimed specifically at instrumentation, and its use in a hazardous area. The whole idea is to provide a global perspective, with hazardous area as the focal point.
By the end of this training seminar, you will be able to:
- Define hazards, and classify hazardous material
- Understand risk, and eliminate sources of ignition
- Fully understand and implement area classification and types of explosion protection apparatus
- Have a full understanding of instrumentation, and their interaction with various gas groups and temperature classes
- Have a full grasp of the installation and maintenance of an assortment of explosion protection equipment
- Understand inspection of instrumentation in hazardous areas
- Implement documentation of all equipment in a hazardous area
Who should Attend?
This training course is aimed at anybody that would need to know about the use of instrumentation in a hazardous area. This will include individuals responsible for selection, installation, and maintenance. Of course, these individuals could be found at many different levels.
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will especially benefit:
- Instrumentation and electrical personnel responsible for the installation and maintenance of instrumentation in hazardous areas
- Engineers and management responsible for the purchase of equipment in hazardous areas
- Supervisors and operators that may use information from instrumentation in hazardous areas, and who would be responsible for keeping these areas safe
- Mechanical, electrical and process engineers who are involved in projects that have hazardous areas
- Safety officers, financial supervisors, and procurement personnel
- Anybody that would have a specific interest in dealing with hazardous areas, from an instrumentation perspective
