The most well-designed facilities are only as safe and reliable as the human resources that make decisions when operating these facilities. These human resources require training and technical knowledge on how the safety systems work, how to recognize anomalies, react to such anomalies, and, most importantly, how to prevent such anomalies. Remember the Challenger Space Shuttle - extensive safety systems, but poor operator judgment rendered it a disaster.

This training covers LNG safety practices from both a technical and human resource development perspective. A thorough understanding of these topics is needed to help you design, operate or maintain an LNG facility; however, many of the topics covered pertain to all petrochemical plants.  This training is intended to present concepts and materials to develop a culture of safety and reliability in your thought processes.  It will provide the learner with basic technical knowledge needed to make informed planning, maintenance, and operating decisions to ensure plant safety and reliability. The most crucial intention of this training is to impart knowledge of how to continue to make the Liquid Natural Gas Industry "Safe and Reliable."  

Understand the profound importance of putting safety first when dealing with petrochemicals, particularly LNG.
