The importance of training on engineering control of hazardous materials using pilot plant

Abstract EN

This study illustrates how Jubail Technical Institute successfully integrated different empowerment training principles into the teaching methods and curriculum of an Industrial safety training program.

The 8 months follow up survey involved local industries respondents, each representing a separate plant site, a group of trainees, staff members and graduates of the chemical skills department.

The evaluation shows that 93.3% of the teaching staff believe that the competency based training method is one of the best ways to help the technician in how to control risk using pilot plant, compared to other well known training methods.

75% of the graduates confirmed that training using pilot plant is the best method of training in engineering control of the risks of chemical processes compared to theoretical training or training using models.

93% of the trainees emphasized that the training in engineering control of the risks of chemical processes at the institute and before graduation helps to understand the risk control processes.

20% of the industrial sector confirms that the costs of training in engineering risk control in petrochemical plants are higher than other risk control methods.

The data substantially supported the importance of Training in Engineering Control of Hazardous Materials Using Pilot Plant
