ABOUT THE COURSE
11:00 AM – 3:00 PM, ET. two days

The course delves into real-life scenarios and case studies from the natural gas and LNG industries to underscore the importance of safety in operations. Authored by an experienced professional, this course highlights the lessons learned from incidents and near-misses, exploring technical, procedural, and cultural elements essential for ensuring workplace safety. The course equips participants with the knowledge to identify potential risks, foster a culture of safety, and implement preventive measures to protect personnel, equipment, and the community. The mistakes and mishaps of past, associated with natural gas operations, maintenance, and safety, will be examined through the illustrative case studies. Numerous proven natural gas and LNG operations, safety, and proper maintenance best practices will be covered. The audience is engaged through Q&A, classwork, and ad hoc discussions pertaining to the topic. Board acceptance guarantee.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand Key Safety Concepts: Differentiate between critical safety phenomena such as leaks, ruptures, BLEVEs, and rollovers, and comprehend their causes and consequences.
2. Evaluate and Apply Lessons Learned: Analyze real-life incidents to identify underlying safety failures and apply these insights to prevent future occurrences.
3. Foster a Safety Culture: Recognize the importance of a robust safety culture and implement strategies to integrate safety into daily operations and decision-making.
4. Enhance Technical Knowledge: Gain insights into technical systems and their safe operations, including LNG transport, combustion dynamics, and instrumentation.
5. Strengthen Communication Practices: Improve communication and documentation within teams to minimize misunderstandings and enhance safety outcomes.
6. Implement Risk Mitigation Strategies: Apply knowledge of process safety analysis, management of change, and other frameworks to maintain multiple layers of protection. 
7. Promote Proactive Safety Measures: Develop proactive approaches to safety, including regular audits, operator training, and emergency preparedness.

Why you should not miss this seminar – How this seminar can benefit you and your organization, what is unique about this course:

- It matters not what type of engineer you are – whether you are a young engineer or a veteran – somewhere in your career, your work will interface with or involve natural gas and LNG systems. Do you feel you know all you must about natural gas and LNG safety? Do you know enough about natural gas and LNG to perform a high level review of natural gas or LNG design performed for you by an expert? If the answer to these questions is no, then this seminar is a must for you. 

- Do you, as an engineer or engineering manager, feel that your knowledge and understanding of natural gas safety, maintenance, and operation needs enhancement? Then you must not miss this proven seminar, conducted by an expert in the field. 

- Some seminars and courses end up being monotonous monologues from the presenter to the audience. Not this one. In this seminar, you will get an opportunity to air questions, share your success stories on the topic, learn how to avoid costly mistakes, through discussions with the instructor and other members of the audience.
