Pressure Safety Valve, Actuators and Regulators – Inspection and Maintenance

Pressure Safety Valve, Actuators and Regulators – Inspection and Maintenance training is to empower professionals with—
• detailed information and knowledge about the inspection and maintenance of pressure safety valves, actuators and regulators
• the required confidence and knowledge to direct others and train them on working with pressure safety valves, actuators and regulators
• the ability and experience to detect issues in any of the three devices and take corrective action well in time to prevent occupational hazards and loss to property and life
• the necessary awareness and knowledge of required standards and guidelines of operation and use of pressure safety valves, actuators and regulators to ensure that safety is not compromised
• the understanding and knowledge to set up equipment containing these devices most appropriately and safely to ensure optimal and safe operation
• the skill and capabilities to address any maintenance-related issues with these devices inhouse and save maintenance costs for the organisation, thereby contributing to organisational growth
• a sense of pride to be able to contribute to employee health and safety in the organisation through regular inspections and maintenance
• the required skillset and capabilities to assume higher roles and responsibilities and work with any machine or equipment employing pressure safety valves, actuators and regulators, thereby enriching one’s professional portfolio leading to greater career opportunities within and outside one’s current organisation
