Energy Isolation: Standards, Techniques and Best Practices
Renewable Energy & Sustainability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
It is important for modern-day process plants, large industrial installations, Oil & Gas plants and offshore installations to be able to implement methods of operation which are reliable, proactive and cost-effective. In the 21st Century, a modern practice to ensure that practical and cost-effective are utilized is to have a multi-skilled workforce. This 5-Day intensive training course will provide authorized workers with step-by-step procedures for isolating equipment using such techniques as lockout tagout, lockbox, blinding, misalignment, double block and bleed, and single valve isolation.
