Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and demonstration were participants carryout firefighting tactics. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using fire equipment. The oil and gas industry delivers significant benefits to community, providing much of the energy needed the for industrial, commercial and domestic life. A large-scale fire can expose the workers and the community to extreme danger, and can be financially devastating when the cost of destroyed equipment and lost production is tallied. Fire incidents in onshore and offshore oil and gas facilities need to be brought under control very quickly, before a minor mishap results in a major disaster. This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Oil & Gas firefighting tactics. It covers the major oil & gas emergencies including emergency types, threats, phenomena, collateral damage, event escalation, response challenges and common errors. The course will also cover the 3-dimensional fires that includes pressure-fed fires, old methodologies, hydro-chem basics, hydro-chem techniques and review of hydro-chem capable devices. Further, the course will discuss the tactical considerations for process and pressurefed events; footprint principles, calculations and methodology application by event; as well as logistics in water supplies, hose deployment, foam stockpiling, mobilization, foam proportioning and distribution. At the completion of the course, participants will be able to apply the specific tactics for bulk storage flammable liquid fires as well as the tricks of the trade using the SAFE system, piggy-backing streams, hose management, ergonomics, incident and scene management, ICS structures and proper communications.
