Safety Technology

INTRODUCTION

Modern concepts of Safety Technology adopt the risk-based approach to selecting the most appropriate design measures in order to reduce risks to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.

This program is based on NEBOSH Part 2 Diploma and is updated to familiarize participants with the most relevant up-to-date EU and International Standards in the field of Safety Technology. This course focuses on machinery and work equipment safety, reliability technology, protective systems and engineering noise/vibration control.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:    

This course is aimed at all Technical Personnel involved in projects, design, maintenance, instrumentation and safety.

COURSE FEES:

990 K.D PER PARTICIPANT
