LPG Storage & Depot Emergency Preparedness Course
Review emergency preparedness for LPG storage and depot operations, including leaks, fires and BLEVE scenarios. This four-day course covers LPG properties, detection and isolation, fire protection, evacuation and recovery.
Course overview
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) poses extreme hazards, notably Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions (BLEVEs) and vapor cloud fires. This intensive programme equips responders and depot safety leads with specialized tactical knowledge required to handle pressurized liquefied gas releases, prevent catastrophic thermal rupture, and control LPG emergency incidents.
