Chemical Plant Safety

Dear Colleague,

Who should attend:
This webcast will cover good engineering and operating practices that should be in place at facilities handling flammable gases.

All chemical engineers or other technical personnel who are responsible for safety at chemical process plants should consider taking part in this widely relevant webcast. Production or other operations at the great majority of process plants involve flammable gases or vapors, and the opportunities for these to accumulate and, thus, become particularly hazardous are not necessarily obvious. The webcast offers practical guidance on how to avoid those risks.

Who Will Be Speaking?
James Lay, P.E.
US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Mr. Lay has over 29 years experience in the process industries, including extensive experience with the safe handling of flammable, toxic, and pyrophorric gases.

This webinar is an extremely efficient and affordable way to educate the engineers and members in your group on the subject of Chemical Plant Safety in one sitting.

Topic highlights include:

• Hazards of Flammable Gas Accumulation - Lessons Learned from the ASCO Acetylene Explosion

• Findings of CSB's investigation of an acetylene explosion that killed three workers

• Vapor Cloud Explosion, Acetylene, Blast Modeling, Safe Venting Practices, Procedures and Training, Check Valve Failure, Process Isolation, Area Classification, National Fire Codes

• This webinar will review the key findings of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) investigation into the ASCO explosion. As is often the case in chemical incidents, numerous elements combined to cause the fatal blast. The webinar will review the investigatory approach and key findings of the investigation.

• Importantly, it will also discuss the good engineering and operating practices that should be in place at facilities handling flammable gases to prevent similar explosions in the future.
