Introduction

The storage and safe handling of chemicals and hazardous  materials require compliance with a complex array of regulations and the use of specialized technical facilities, operations and equipment to ensure safe and proper management. This course provides a practical method of assessing the properties of chemicals and tracks the legislative framework that surrounds the safe management of these materials.

This course also provides practical guidelines for identification, segregation and movement of chemicals, as well as methods for the evaluation of facilities and specialized equipment necessary for the safe and effective storage and transfer of hazardous chemicals.

Objective

The course will provide expert advice aimed at reducing the potential hazards and either removing risks or minimizing the potential consequences in the event of an incident.

It will develop provide a practical guideline for the evaluation and general design of operations used for the safe and effective storage and handling of chemicals.

It will cover a range of industrial scenarios.  These practical case studies and exercises will provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and guides for right and safe handling of chemicals in petroleum sites.

Audience

All site staff handling chemicals.

Material managers and facility operators who store or handle chemicals, Engineers with limited knowledge of chemicals and their properties, construction site managers, engineers and architects responsible for the design of facilities for hazardous materials management, personnel responsible for implementing training programmes and methods for hazardous chemicals, managers wishing to ensure compliance with applicable legislation and a reduction of risk for hazardous chemicals management, and safety personnel plus other people whose position in the company requires them to acquire this knowledge.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
