Safe Handling, Storage & Transportation of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products

Hazardous Substances are flammable and combustible liquids and gases. The course highlights the classification of such substances, contents of Material Safety Data Sheets, HAZCHEM code practices and rules to be observed for safe handling. General guidelines for storing such substances in bulk quantities, drums or containers are presented.

Delegates will enhance the knowledge on Hazardous Substances (Crude Oil and Petroleum Products) Storage Definitions, Design of Storage Tanks, Design Considerations of Tanks and Manifolds, Tanks Heaters and Mixers, Tank Operations, Loading and Unloading Operations, and Handling of Slops.

The programme also gives general guidelines, precautions, design criteria’s and operations for transporting such substances by road or rail.

Upon the successful completion of this seminar, participants will have a good knowledge of:

• The Classifications of Flammable and Comestible Liquids (Per NFPA 30)
• The Classification of Flammable Chemicals
• What are the contents of a Typical Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
• What is HAZCHEM Code?
• Guidelines for Handling of Hazardous Substances.
• Guidelines for Storage of Hazardous Substances.
• Hazardous Substances (Crude Oil and Petroleum Products) Storage Definitions, Design of Storage Tanks, Design Considerations of Tanks and Manifolds, Tanks Heaters and Mixers, Tank Operations, Loading and Unloading Operations, and Handling of Slops.
• Transportation by Roads design criteria, filling volume, safety concerns etc.
• Transportation by Rail design criteria, filling volume, safety concerns etc.

Safe Handling, Storage, and Transportation of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products training course is designed for:

• Technical personnel involved in working of safe handling, storage and transportation of hazardous substance.
• Supervisors and Engineers, both operations and designing systems for safe handling, storage and transportation of hazardous substances.
• Team Leaders, Project Managers, Refinery Managers, Plant Managers, Section Heads, Plant Supervisors, Process Engineers, technical staff and contractor personnel involved in hazardous substances terminal operations, storages, safety precautions, and transportation.
• Managers and specialists who lead or facilitate in the designing, selecting, specifying, operating, installing, repairing of safe handling, storage guidelines and transportations of hazardous substance.
• Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation and Control Engineers who are regularly involved in rules for safe handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous substances.

Safe Handling, Storage, and Transportation of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products training course will be conducted in a facilitative style with a combination of lecture and practical exercises in the use of techniques, case studies and a high level of lively debate and sharing of ideas. Delegates will be encouraged to introduce problems of their own for discussion and analysis. Copies of all lecture materials, case studies and workbooks will be provided.

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
