About this Course
A fire at sea poses significant risk because a crew cannot walk away and rely on a local fire department. Offshore oil and gas exploration and production require particularly extensive safety measures given the hydrocarbon production and processing systems and their associated utility and safety systems. This two-day course covers the principal fire and lifesaving concerns of floating offshore installations, including the classification and statutory requirements that apply to each category of installation.
What you'll Learn
- Identify applicable classification Rules, statutory requirements and reference sources.
- Describe overall facility layout and the concept of safe design.
- Identify, classify and separate potential ignition sources from fuel inventory.
- Evaluate pool, spray, jet fire and explosion considerations.
- Apply fire and explosion mitigation techniques.
- Explain the underlying principles of structural fire protection.
- Describe safety case requirements and guidance documents.
- Apply the principles of escape, evacuation and rescue including the safety refuge concept.
- Identify statutory requirements for lifesaving appliances.
- Review a facility design case study.
- Survey related items during and after construction.
