Special Equipment Operator Certificate
Thread Content
Hello, everyone! Now, chemical process control instruments are classified as special types of work; just like electricians, those who work with them need to obtain a special work permit. Has any colleague obtained such a permit?
Where did you see chemical process instruments classified as special types of work?
Today, safety management requirements are becoming increasingly strict. In addition to the skills and safety requirements specific to one’s own company, there are also **qualification requirements for taking up a job; instrument maintenance workers need to obtain a certificate in \"Chemical Process Automation Control Instruments Operations\". It is also improved from the perspective of the \"human element\" among the safe aspects of \"people, objects, environment, and management\". The Safety Supervision Bureau sometimes requires inspections, just like those for permits related to work with pressure vessels and process cold separation operations. Additionally, those working in instrumentation and measurement, as well as in radiation-related tasks, also need to receive relevant training and obtain certificates.
A special exam with 1,000 questions; it’s not very difficult
I’ve never heard of it. I’m still using a low-voltage electrician’s certificate instead
It’s a certification for working with instruments; nowadays, instrument technicians must obtain this certification, as it’s necessary to be able to work with instruments without it. It belongs to a special type of job. The exam consists of theoretical questions and practical questions. There are approximately 1,500 theoretical questions, from which 100 are selected for the computer-based exam; the questions are drawn randomly. The practical questions are divided into 2 parts: one part deals with safety-related topics such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, wound dressing, the use of back-mounted air respirators and fire extinguishers, etc.; the other part focuses on the maintenance of everyday instruments, including the use of 375 devices, multimeters, signal generators, pressure gauge selection, the identification of PID diagrams, and methods for repairing ordinary meters, etc. Anyway, all the instrument technicians in my factory have taken the exam; those who haven’t must take it. Review every 3 years.
I took the exam for this special operation certificate (for working with hazardous chemicals) and the certificate for working with chemical automation control instruments back in May this year
Mm-hmm, that’s basically all that’s tested
