Course Description
This course examines the causes and prevention incidents in Ammonia and Urea plants. It categorizes the key hazards which must be controlled and discusses in detail the most common hazards associated with Ammonia and Urea plants.
The course describes the processes used to identify, assess and communicate process risks from a safety, environmental or business perspective, from a simple qualitative approach to fully quantified assessments, together with the demonstration that risks are as low as reasonably practicable.
You will better understand the principles of inherent safety and their application to existing facilities. This practical course discusses numerous real-life examples that can help establish a safer, more efficient and more profitable plant.
This Training program includes several workshops to enhance its learning effectiveness.
Course Objectives
