ARC Flash & Electrical Safety

Inadequate electrical installation often resulted in fires. In recent years, the community has begun to recognize that in addition to fire and electrocution, arc-flash and arc-blast hazards also result in injury. The knowledge base about these hazards is expanding but is not yet complete. The community knows that as the distance between an employee and an electrical hazard decreases the degree of exposure increases. Employees must understand that they are exposed to these hazards until an electrically safe work condition has been established.

The ARC Flash & Electrical Safety training course provides front-line electrical workers with the information they need to make safe decisions involving their work practices. From this training, they will receive the proper awareness and training needed in order to develop a personal arc flash safety strategy in the workplace.

The key features of the ARC Flash & Electrical Safety training course are:

  • List OSHA electrical safety requirements and design standards 
  • Explain the NFPA 70E for Electrical Safety Requirements 
  • Identify electrical work practices and maintenance requirements

Advanced Alarm Management

Alarm Management is a key element in managing the operational risk of every facility. However, poor handling of the alarm systems – plagued by alarm floods, inaccurate alarms, and suppressed alarms – will diminish situation awareness and continue to negatively impact plant production and safety. An effective alarm system optimization strategy, one that leverages a proven methodology enabled by software automation, addresses these challenges making operators more effective during abnormal situations.

Participants attending Proclad Academy’s Advanced Alarm Management training course will learn and apply best practices in alarm management using real world examples and tools. They will return to their jobs not only with a better understanding of alarm management best practices but also equipped with a set of practical set of techniques, procedures and tools to optimise their alarm management system to increase the productivity, efficiency, product quality, safety, integrity, and security of their processes.

The key features of Proclad Academy’s Advanced Alarm Management training course are:

  • A review of P&ID diagrams, process control, and process safeguarding
  • Alarm management principles and alarm philosophy
  • Alarm identification and rationalization
  • Alarm design, implementation, operation and maintenance
  • Alarm performance monitoring and assessment
  • Use of hands-on tools for alarm rationalization, design, implementation, and operation

Emergency Response Planning, Management & Leadership

The sheer range of potential incidents and emergencies that can disrupt or even stop production are increasing. Not all of these incidents will become critical or be classed as a crisis if managed correctly. Failure to manage the incidents correctly will result in increased losses or put increased demand upon the organisation with ensuing serious consequences for the company, the shareholders/stakeholders and the country itself badly damaging the reputation of all those involved in the response.

This Proclad Academy training course will teach participants that meeting emergency response planning, management & leadership commitment involves more than just being fully prepared. The training will give participants with a greater understanding of the emergency response planning process, identification, selection and implementation of objectives, and how utilising their management & leadership qualities they will be able to deliver great outcomes to successfully dealing with any emergencies.

The key features of Proclad Academy’s Emergency Response Planning, Management & Leadership training course are:

  • Designing appropriate response plans
  • Organising Emergency Control Centers
  • Controlling Emergency Response Teams
  • Analyzing incidents and allocating duties
  • Developing crisis management strategies
