LPG and Safety Training for Inspectors in the Downstream Petroleum Industry
LPG is an excellent, environmentally friendly fuel with hundreds of millions of satisfied consumers across all parts of the world.
Like all forms of energy, LPG is potentially hazardous if mishandled or misused. The promotion of safety is invariably one, of the key aims of any organisation involved in the downstream industry.
Hence this course is particularly designed for field inspectors as an essential aspect of ensuring compliance as well as the maintenance of safety standards and procedures.
It seeks to inform participants with a thorough understanding of the day-to-day safe operations of a LPG. It is a foundation course to take by all workers in these facilities.
