Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas & Safe Handling Operation

Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas & Safe Handling Operation
Summary

This course provides participants with an insight into the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in potentially explosive surroundings. This highly beneficial training course is designed to provide you with the skills to understand how electrical systems are installed, maintained and operated in industrial process plants in heavy industries, and why it is essential to ensure that measures are taken to ensure the safety of any equipment specifically in hazardous areas.


Why is this “Installation, Maintenance and Safety of Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas” course so essential especially to those in the electrical industry? Explosion-proof system installations can be expensive to design, install and operate, but even more expensive to manage if things go wrong.



Maintaining solid and fool-proof standards can significantly reduce the latter costs, while also maintaining the safety of the facility and its inhabitants. This course explains the terminology associated with the installation and maintenance of equipment in hazardous areas, area classification, selection of explosion-protected electrical apparatus, and describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with international requirements.

  • BK Management Team believe that learning is not only about acquiring technical skills, it is also about learning behaviors & Competencies that are desirable for work in plant operation & maintenance critical dimensions. Our holistic teaching develops our delegates' personal effectiveness to function both as an individual and as a team player. The course delivery & modes of instruction will incorporate theory , practical skills and Q&A sessions. 
  • To enhance learning outcomes, theory sessions will comprise classroom based lecture that will intersperse with interactive discussions, scenario-based, case-study, group exercises, video clips, power point slides, learners' Guide and the application of various tools which will be provided to help in the delegates and participants of the learning’s objectives. With successful implementation of the learnt skills they are bound to enhance Individual & Organizational growth.
  • For online / Interactive Virtual sessions, Delegate should have a stable & good Internet connection on his Laptop.

On successful completion of this training course, BK’s Certificate with eligible Continuing Professional Education credits (CPE), will be awarded to the delegates , one CPE credit is granted per 50 minutes of attendance.
