Book Course
HSL is to run a 1 day course on Pressure Systems Awareness.
16 June 2016
Pressure systems have been synonymous with industry since the age
of steam. Today it is almost impossible to name an industry sector
that does not make substantial use of pressure systems in some way
or other. From tyre inflators through refrigerators to full
blown industrial processes, pressure systems have become as
indispensable to industry as the electricity that powers
them.
This informative and experiential course is aimed at raising
awareness of the hazards associated with pressure systems as well
as the relevant regulatory frame work. This course will offer
delegates the unique opportunity to learn from real life case
studies and forensic investigations into pressure systems failures,
providing a first hand perspective of what can go wrong and why.
Delegates will also benefit from a substantial afternoon
session with the HSE Inspector responsible for the current revision
of the Safety of Pressure Systems Regulations, during in which
delegates will be able to discuss both general and specific issues
directly with the regulator in an open forum setting.
