Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining
							 (4-hours)
Fundamentals of petroleum refining will explore the
							 critical role refining plays in unleashing the potential of a barrel of crude
							 oil and turning it into the specially formulated products that we rely on every
							 day. These products include gasoline, agricultural chemicals, heating oil,
							 plastics, and even prescription medicines. The training will also cover basic
							 refining streams and unit configurations. Also covered will be hazards inherent
							 to high hazard facilities and common emergency response processes. A section of
							 the training will explain refining culture as it may differ from other industry
							 sectors. An introduction to common refining terminology will be covered.
A major objective of this course is to
							 address:
*
Fundamentals of the petroleum refining
							 industry
*
Crude oil and its properties
*
Classes of refinery processes and refinery
							 configurations
*
Properties of the refinery-produced
							 streams
*
Refinery hazards and emergency response
							 procedures

Craft-Specific Safety Training
							 (8-hours)
Applicable WAC or Best Practices
							 recommended as training resources
Participants will learn the specific work performed
							 by various trades working in the refinery. Working safely alongside other
							 crafts and recognizing the similar and dissimilar risks associated with each
							 craft is the focus of this course. Participants will also learn about
							 interdependency and relationships between the crafts, stacked work, dissimilar
							 trades working near each other, dissimilar risks associated with trade types
							 (i.e., electrical energy, product energy, radiation, potential falling objects,
							 etc.) job sequencing, and barricading.
Craft specific safety training must cover individual
							 craft hazards in a minimum of three categories:
Hard trades: Boilermaker, pipefitting, welders,
							 electricians, etc.
Soft trades: Painting, scaffold building, insulation,
							 carpentry, etc.
Support crafts: Cranes, inspection, hydroblasting,
							 vac trucks, safety attendant, etc.
