About This Course
Disaster in a chemical industry is very rare, but negligence could result in devastating consequences. Incidences could arise at any stage and at any time such as during erection, commissioning, manufacturing, maintenance, disposal or transportation. Whenever it happens, chemical incidents might end up with fire and/or toxic releases.
