Visit the Wilfred E. Baker Test Facility to witness an actual loss of containment hazards. Feel the heat of a jet fire on your face and the pressure from a vapor cloud explosion on your chest! In this Hazards Awareness Course, you’ll learn about actual incidents that have shaped our industry, the lessons learned, and gain a basic understanding of the physics behind releases, vapor cloud explosions, and structural response. You will return to work with a new appreciation of how hazards can become incidents.

Participants will learn about historical incidents that have shaped the process safety industry, the physics behind accidental releases, vapor cloud explosions, fires, and structural response to these hazards. You’ll feel the thump on your chest from explosions and the heat of a jet fire on your face, giving each participant an appreciation for process hazards in a safe and fun environment.
Process safety staff, management, and all employees on site who would benefit from a better appreciation of the hazards and the importance of process safety
There’s a saying in occupational safety, the person who best appreciates ladder safety is the one who’s fallen off a ladder. This course helps make process safety personal and provides an exciting and insightful experience that your employees will remember for a lifetime!
The course will include both classroom instruction and hazard demonstrations of:

Latest Resources
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.
