COURSE OVERVIEW
This is a 4‑day course. The course starts with flammability fundamentals and risk concepts, progresses through area classification methodology and international standards, and concludes with practical case studies, drawings interpretation, and best practices applied to real oil & gas facilities
This course provides participants with comprehensive technical knowledge of hazardous area classification principles applied in oil & gas, refinery, petrochemical, and process plant facilities. The course focuses on flammable materials behavior, release scenarios, zone classification, applicable international standards, and the practical interpretation of hazardous area drawings. Emphasis is placed on engineering judgment, real plant layouts, and compliance with safety regulations to ensure safe equipment selection and facility design.
