Nitrogen Awareness
Learn about the properties of nitrogen, the hazards associated with inert atmospheres, and the precautions required to reduce the risk of oxygen deficiency and asphyxiation during work involving nitrogen or inerting processes.
Overview
This course is suitable for anyone working with nitrogen and the inerting process in the oil and gas industry. The course will give you an understanding of the dangers that nitrogen poses, and the measures and processes used to control it.
