Course Description

This course provides a foundational yet comprehensive overview of gas turbine safety protocols, specifically designed for engineers, technicians, and industry professionals working in high-risk rotating equipment environments, particularly with gas turbines. It equips learners with the awareness, procedures, and habits necessary to ensure safe and effective turbine operation. You’ll begin by understanding how to assess risk through consequence and likelihood, and apply the Hierarchy of Controls with real-world examples. Learners will develop skills in hazard sensing—especially through applying their 5 senses—and will practice establishing worksite boundaries and implementing pre- and post-work safety checks. The course also covers the correct use of PPE, common workplace hazards, and typical isolation and de-isolation procedures.
