Gain an improved understanding of industrial explosion sources, effects, and consequences. The training will aid in understanding sequence of events that various energetic sources can result in an explosion; discerning potential causal factors as part of a root cause analysis, and identifying damage mechanisms at an incident scene.  This course will assist investigation teams in identifying root causes and making recommendations.

Who should attend:

• Those who investigate industrial accidents including:
  • Investigators
  • Team Leads
  • Directors
• Those who perform Incident Root Cause Analyses (RCAs)
• Those who perform explosion hazard assessments
• Those who want to improve their knowledge and understanding of explosion mechanisms and consequences.

What will I learn?

• Understand fundamentals of an explosion
• Know the different types of explosions and their effects
• Learn about explosion analysis and modeling techniques
• Understand the data and how it's collected in field surveys including source indicators, damage indicators and mapping, directional indicators
• Know how cause and origins of an explosion are determined using release modeling, material sampling and testing, explosion yield assessment, and blast damage modeling
