Portable and Emergency Equipment

This training program focuses on common types of portable and emergency equipment that are found in industrial facilities. Some types of portable equipment are used to periodically analyze conditions in a process or inside process equipment. Other types of portable equipment, such as pumps, have specialized roles that are determined by plant procedures and policies. Emergency equipment, such as respirators and fire fighting equipment, is used strictly during emergencies.
