Course Overview
Industrial Safety
Protecting People, Plant, and Production in Industrial Operations
Industrial plants concentrate mechanical, electrical, chemical and physical hazards in one place, and each demands a specific control discipline. This course builds capability in guarding, energy isolation, arc-flash protection, exposure assessment, contractor and permit control, and incident investigation, then ties them together in an ISO 45001 safety management system.
What You Will Learn
The main objectives of the course are:
- Apply the hierarchy of controls to industrial hazards.
- Navigate OSHA, ANSI, NFPA and ISO 45001 requirements.
- Run HAZID, JSA, HAZOP, FMEA and bow-tie studies.
- Address human error and just culture in plants.
- Specify machine guarding and safeguarding devices.
- Build compliant lockout/tagout energy-control programs.
- Manage arc-flash boundaries and electrical PPE.
- Assess ergonomics and mechanical handling risk.
- Control chemicals using GHS, SDS and containment.
- Evaluate noise, vibration, thermal and dust hazards.
- Operate permit-to-work and contractor safety controls.
- Investigate incidents and drive continual improvement.
Who Should Enroll
This certificate is designed for industrial and plant safety officers, manufacturing and production supervisors, maintenance and reliability engineers, EHS managers, machine operators moving into supervision, industrial hygienists, contractor safety coordinators, and operations leaders in heavy industry.
