Course Introduction
Fabric maintenance activities such as surface preparation, blasting, painting, and coating are essential for asset integrity, particularly in oil & gas, maritime, and industrial sectors. However, these operations also pose significant environmental and safety risks if not managed in accordance with regulations and best practices.
This course equips maintenance and HSE professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve full compliance with environmental laws, safety standards, and operational procedures. Participants will learn how to manage hazardous materials, emissions, waste, and worker safety in alignment with global guidelines such as OSHA, EPA, IMO, and ISO standards.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify key environmental and safety risks in fabric maintenance operations
• Implement regulatory requirements for surface preparation and coating activities
• Control and monitor emissions, hazardous waste, and noise during maintenance
