Process Safety and Accident Prevention

 
  October 30, 2017  
     
 
CfPA-The Center of Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ
March 26-28, 2018


Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for: engineers, scientists and technical personnel involved in corporate safety or who seek a better understanding of process safety. 

It will be beneficial to professionals in numerous industries: petro chemical, pharmaceuticals, mining, specialty chemicals, agrichemicals, food processing, waste management and paper processing.

Course Description
The Chemical Safety Board (CSB) made the observation that 167 serious accidents involving uncontrolled chemical reactions have occurred over a period of 20 years. That is roughly 8 accidents a year. The T2 Laboratory accident (see the CSB video tape on this accident) is perhaps the most famous. It is available to view on-line.  Please click here to view video.

An uncontrolled chemical reaction is just one of many process hazards industries faces. A simple BS degree in an engineering discipline does not cover identification of process hazards and accident prevention very well. Industry tries to make up for this safety short fall through training, safety meetings and incident investigations.  

This 3-day intensive course presents a unified overview of process safety in support of efforts by industry. Safety has many levels. The safety levels in this course targets those at the highest level, before the accident. One main goal is to prevent the accident.

This course provides: 
  • A fresh look at process safety thru the viewpoint of process scale-up.
  • An in-depth practical industrially-based safety course
  • Topics include: case histories, preventing accidents, hazard identification, safety procedures, safe process design, risks and protecting personnel in the work place.
