Pyrophoric Ignition Hazards in oil and gas industry typically Refinery Operations (PSM)
Pyrophoric ignition hazards in the oil and gas industry, particularly in refinery operations, pose significant risks and require careful management under Process Safety Management (PSM) programs. Pyrophoric materials are substances that can ignite spontaneously upon exposure to air or moisture, making them highly reactive and potentially dangerous.
Course Aims & Objectives
