Fire Safety and Explosion Risk in Refineries

This course addresses fire hazards and explosion risks in refinery environments. It provides participants with the knowledge to prevent, detect, and respond to fires and explosions through proper engineering controls, emergency planning, and compliance with international safety standards.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify fire and explosion hazards common to refinery operations.
• Evaluate fire risk using consequence modeling and hazard analysis tools.
• Implement fire protection and suppression systems effectively.
• Develop refinery-specific emergency response and evacuation plans.
• Ensure compliance with NFPA, API, and OSHA fire safety standards.

1. Fire and Explosion Hazards in Refineries: Causes and Case Studies
2. Risk Assessment and Hazard Modeling Techniques
3. Fire Detection, Suppression, and Control Systems
4. Emergency Response Planning and Fire Drills
5. Standards, Auditing, and Continuous Improvement

Refinery safety personnel, fire protection engineers, operations managers, and emergency response coordinators responsible for fire safety and hazard control.

Scenario analysis, hazard modeling exercises, equipment walkthroughs, and emergency simulation drills.

Participants will be equipped to manage fire and explosion risks proactively, ensuring personnel safety and regulatory compliance in refinery operations.
