What Others Say
“I must say that this course has been fantastic. The specific expertise of the three instructors has been valuable, but I would be remiss if I did not highlight the value of your no doubt hard-won insights across all topical areas. From an explosives safety perspective (and absent formal structural education) it is especially valuable to understand where the tolerance for engineering judgement exists within the requirements. On that same line of commentary, highlighting where the requirements drive conservatism throughout the slide decks has been a very useful input as well. Also, the directly relevant student problems have been a high-value element of the course as well.”
-Tim Wallace, Albuquerque, NM
“I recently had the privilege of taking the BakerRisk Blast Resistant Design course. The course covered key elements of hazard assessments for energetic operations and core elements of how to design structures to mitigate blast and fragmentation hazards. Having taken the course, I now feel confident in being able to speak technically to blast resistant structural design, understand the hazards of our operations, ensure adequate protective measures for my team, and operate as an informed customer during procurement of new blast resistant structures. In my opinion this course should be a fundamental requirement for anyone responsible for leading energetic operations, assessing the safety of energetic operations, accepting risk of operations, or procuring/maintaining blast resistant facility capabilities.”

Customized Courses
While BakerRisk offers a range of pre-packaged courses, we recognize that the most effective courses incorporate your company’s specific hazards, incidents, and lessons learned. Please contact us to discuss how we can custom-tailor courses to fit your company’s needs. Your course may include:
Courses may be offered at your site or a BakerRisk location, depending on the course or your needs.
We’ll walk through your facility to customize courses to suit and include an assessment.
Utilize demonstrations to give a first-hand feel of hazards through simulations.
Case studies using real scenarios, including role play, so participants can apply their new training.

In previous articles in this series, BakerRisk discussed the hydrogen economy and high-level hazards. Additionally, best practices and general guidance for performing a PHA on hydrogen processing facilities to accurately assess all the risks and consequences associated with hydrogen were also covered. This article will focus on the materials and potential damage mechanisms and hazards associated with the operation of equipment exposed to hydrogen, including pressure vessels, pipelines, piping, and other equipment handling hydrogen.
Hydrogen has been used in petroleum refining, fertilizer production, chemical synthesis and many more applications for centuries. Throughout hydrogen’s use, releases have resulted in numerous explosion and fire incidents. Hydrogen is becoming more prevalent as a low carbon energy solution since it can be used both as an energy carrier as well as a replacement for raw materials. As hydrogen is adopted across more industries and applications, continued emphasis on preventing release and escalation is essential.
