As an enabling regulator, HSE is working with industry and government to innovate safely to prevent major incidents, supporting the move towards net zero. Hydrogen is one of the low carbon energy solutions that will be critical for the UK's transition to net zero. The following training and events have been designed to help those developing and deploying hydrogen technologies acquire a greater understanding of its fundamental properties and behaviour so that they can work with it safely. Tuesday 13 February - Manchester This one-day technical conference focuses on a key theme that many in industry, academia, research and development are keen to explore: the selection, technical performance and safety of materials used in hydrogen environments. This event brings together anyone with an interest in the safe development and use of materials in hydrogen environments to share current knowledge and experiences, identify where there's more to do and build relationships so that we can collectively work together to enable a safe net zero. Based on HSEâs 20 years of experimental hydrogen safety research, this course helps those already working with, or looking to work with, hydrogen understand how it may behave differently to incumbent fuels and how to engineer for those differences. The course provides an introduction to the properties and behaviour of hydrogen and its effect on materials and system design, including gas detection, purging and gas handling. Delegates will examine the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR), receive an introduction to Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) and look at risk mitigation and control measures. Delegates will establish how to respond to an emergency, how to choose appropriate PPE and will also explore the use of liquid hydrogen.â Open course dates: 14 March 2024 | HSE Science and Research Centre, Buxton | 16 to 17 April 2024 | Live online | 16 May 2024 | HSE Science and Research Centre, Buxton | £690 per person |  |
In-company training This course can be delivered in-company as a cost-effective and time-efficient way to train multiple delegates from the same organisation. Visit solutions.hse.gov.uk to view all of our upcoming courses. Web | Email | Phone: +44 (0) 203 028 3704 |
