COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Practical sessions will be performed using our equipment in order to apply the theory learnt in the class. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Fire Response Strategies (Onshore & Offshore). It covers the fire behavior and classification in oil and gas, common ignition sources in industrial settings and fire response strategies; the purpose and function of ESD systems and integrating with fire detection systems; the manual versus automatic shutdown and interlocks with control and safety systems; and the firefighting command structure, regulatory framework and safety standards. 

 

Further the course, will also discuss the tactical approach for onshore installations, fixed firefighting systems and fire team deployment and coordination; the realistic fire scenarios, resource allocation and safety controls, pre-drill briefing and risk assessment and drill evaluation and improvement planning; and the radiant and convective heat, fire-resistant clothing effectiveness, cooling techniques and rotation strategy and using of barriers and heat shields. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the unique offshore fire hazards, firefighting in space-constrained environments and deluge and suppression systems; the offshore team navigation, entry control and offshore emergency response team roles; communicating with command centers, medevac procedures and safety and air-lift fire evacuation drills; the fire team structure and task assignments, SCBA and PPE mastery; the thermal imagers in thick smoke, object and human heat signature analysis and search patterns in confined space; the imaging limitations and maintenance and  communication tools and protocols; and the rescue techniques in fire conditions and post-incident debriefing techniques.
