The course is comprised of combined classroom instruction and workshop exercises. The instructor focuses on critical documentation, such as P&ID, PFD, Plot Plan, Electrical Area Classification, Piping Drawing, Isometric Drawing, Line List, Tie-In List and Shutdown Keys essential for safe day to day operation of facilities. Accurate drawings are a requirement for the analysis of emergency situations and the assessment of safety, environmental and regulatory compliance issues. They are also prerequisites for Process Hazards Analysis / HAZOP studies. A workshop helps demonstrate the keys to reading and interpreting various drawings.

This course introduces the various drawings typically used in the chemical and process industry by engineers and technologists in the design phase, and operations and maintenance staff once facilities are built and running. Anyone, including employees, managers, and officers of corporations with an interest in increasing their awareness of how these common engineering drawings should be created, maintained and used in emergency situations in the assessment of safety, environmental and regulatory compliance issues are welcome to attend.
