Who is the Course aimed at

Students attending this course will be workers in the petro-chemical industry or from business where LPG is stored, used or sold in significant quantities.

These students may be part of an emergency response team - but this is not a pre-entry requirement. The team would be responsible for an emergency incident in its early stages perhaps having to effect rescues of injured persons from an identified risk area.

This course will give the students the necessary skills required to carry out their tasks safely and efficiently and take steps in order to stabilise the situation prior to the arrival of the Emergency Services.

Objectives - at the end of the course the Student will be able to:

• State the properties of LPG and safety procedures for its use
• Understand the safe approach method adopted during fire fighting operations
• Demonstrate the correct fire fighting method adopted for tank fires, bund spills and relief valve fire incidents
• Understand the correct casualty handling skills needed for safe and effective rescue measures

Assessment Process

Pre and post assessment papers will be used to confirm the theoretical knowledge base of the student. The practical exercises will be assessed by Instructional Staff throughout the course.

Certificate Issue
