This critical safety course focuses on the specific hazards and safety requirements associated with LNG plant operations. Participants will learn about cryogenic risks, fire and explosion hazards, asphyxiation dangers, and emergency response protocols unique to LNG facilities. The course covers safety management systems, risk assessment methodologies, and regulatory compliance requirements for LNG plants. Through detailed case studies and safety simulations, attendees will develop comprehensive understanding of safety principles and practices essential for protecting personnel, equipment, and the environment in LNG operations. This training is mandatory for all personnel working in or around LNG facilities.
