Practical Seminar
Safety training: Damage limitation for gas fires on gas pipelines
The public gas supply systems are operated to a high safety standard. Nevertheless, damage to natural gas supply systems and fires in buildings with gas installations cannot be ruled out. If natural gas leaks, there is a risk of fire or explosion! Prudent and considered action is crucial here.
In the practical seminar, we improve the level of knowledge about technical interrelationships and preventive safety measures. In addition, we impart the necessary knowledge to act correctly in the event of damage.
