Cylinder Visual Inspection Course - KBA Training Centre , Singapore, East,East

Wed, 21 Jun 2017 11:16:54 +04

ABOUT THIS COURSE
In accordance with IMCA D 018 Revision 1, the Initial, Periodic Examination, Testing and Certification of Diving Plant and Equipment, detail sheet , requires bailout bottles to have a thorough internal and external visual examination every 6 months by a competent person.

Recent industry reports and safety flashes suggest that this has on several occasions not been carried out properly or accordingly to the correct standard. Indeed, it is very unlikely that even though the inspection has been carried out by a person deemed competent according to the categorisation in IMCA D 018, that such a person has not received the necessary training to understand the complexities of visual inspection. In brief, if the competent person does not know what he is looking for, how can he examine a cylinder and state it is fit for service?

COURSE OBJECTIVES

To enable participants to know which examination standard applies to which cylinders and how to interpret the requirements of such a standard
To be able to understand the different types of faults, defects & corrosion render a cylinder fit or unfit for use
To learn and perform the dismantle and re-fit pillar valves safely
Having confidence to certify a cylinder as fit for service

COURSE CONTENTS

Understanding of pressure and forces involved
The use of specialist tools and equipment required
The inspection standards and the identification of fail/pass criteria
The safe working practices, procedures and methodology

BENEFITS
It serves as a competency development for technicians from any industry using high pressure cylinders as well as other professionals who are involved in certification of cylinders. It provides the technicians the ability to visually inspect cylinders and identify the potential defects correctly. Thereby eliminating the potential catastrophic failures and associated hazards. Competency certificate also enhances employer/client confidence.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course is suitable for Commercial Divers, Recreational Divers, Recreational Diving Instructors, Commercial Diving Supervisors, Life Support Technicians, Dive Technicians, Technical Managers, Technicians from any industry using high pressure cylinders and others who are involved in certification of cylinders.

ASSESSMENT
Upon successful course completion and passing the examination and practical assessment, delegates will be awarded with the KBA Training Centre competence certificate of training.

Surface Supplied Diving using NITROX - KBA Training Centre , Singapore, East,East

Wed, 21 Jun 2017 10:51:03 +04

INTRODUCTION
Surface supplied diving is sometimes carried out using a breathing gas mix of oxygen and nitrogen with a higher percentage of oxygen in the mix than in natural compressed ;The common industry terminology for such a gas mix is NITROX.

Diving while breathing NITROX has various advantages and disadvantages, one such advantage is that the required decompression time for any particular dive can be reduced in comparison to the same dive using natural compressed ;The technique is normally used to ensure that particular dives can be carried out without the diver requiring any decompression but in other cases is used to ensure that very lengthy decompression is not required.

The dive plan for the use of NITROX needs to consider all the relevant safety considerations of using this technique in place of natural compressed air.

One of the main safety considerations not normally present when breathing compressed air is the increased risk of oxygen toxicity problems, particularly those occurring while the diver is still under water.

COURSE OVERVIEW
This e-learning course is designed for the training of both Divers and Supervisors who maybe using NITROX during diving operations. (Supervisors can then proceed to the NITROX Diving Supervisors’ module on successful completion of the Divers course).

The course has been developed using the guidance documents and references provided by International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA), the International Oil and Gas Operators Association (IOGP), USN Diving Manual Revision 6 and industry best practice.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

To develop the competencies in using NITROX during diving operations

COURSE CONTENT

Safety consideration in accordance to IMCA D014, adequate safety management system, detailed risk assessment (Water Depth, Oxygen toxicity, Emergency Recovery, Contingency Plan, Secondary gas supply) and hazard identification
Understanding the signs and symptoms of acute oxygen toxicity
Understanding the signs and symptoms of chronic oxygen toxicity
Advantages/Disadvantages of using NITROX
Types of equipment used in accordance to IMCA D023
Understanding Partial Pressure Gas Calculations
Understanding Equivalent Air Depth (EAD) Calculations
Understanding the use of decompression tables related to Equivalent Air Depth (EAD)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Divers, Standby Divers, Supervisors and Equipment Technicians, Project Engineers, Client Representatives, Diving Operations Managers, Offshore Medics or anyone who works offshore with diving projects using NITROX as the divers breathing medium (gas).

ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION
Delegates who have successfully completed the course will be requested to proceed to the online (multiple-choice questions) examination. On successfully completion of both the course and the online examination, delegates will be awarded with a KBA Training Centre Pte Ltd certificate ‘NITROX Diver Training Course - eLearning’.

Cost: 40 SGD
