Training Course Registration
DEKRA has thousands of hours of experience in process safety and over the years has developed a range of specialist courses. Our aim is to assist companies in developing and promoting and understanding of hazard awareness in their workforce as well as providing detailed technical knowledge on hazard and risk assessment and legal compliance. Our courses are available either as public events or as tailored in-company courses. If a public option may not be a good fit, we also offer company-requested private webinar series and can deliver to a remote workforce via a digital platform. Contact us if you would like to speak to a consultant about arranging a customized training session for your company.
Combustible Dust Fundamentals (NFPA 660)
4-Day Virtual Course: $895 • 5-Day Bundle $1195
The newly published NFPA 660 Standard for Combustible Dusts and Particulate Solids consolidates the foundational requirements of NFPA 652 with the five former commodity-specific standards (NFPA 61, 484, 654, 655, and 664) into one comprehensive framework.
This course covers the core principles of combustible dust prevention and control outlined in Chapters 1–10, which serve as the “on ramp” to the commodity-specific requirements in Chapters 21–25. Participants will learn how to manage fire, flash fire, and explosion hazards, navigate dust-specific provisions, and understand which requirements apply retroactively.
Successful completion of the course and quiz earns a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) Leader certificate.
Upcoming Course Dates:
- August 10-13, 2026
- October 5-8, 2026
- December 7-10, 2026
Flammable Liquids, Vapors and Gases
2-Day Course: $895 • 3-Day Bundle: $1,195
This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to identify, mitigate, and protect against hazards associated with flammable liquids, vapors, and gases.
Day one covers flammability fundamentals, test methods and interpretation, electrostatic hazards, area classification, and applicable codes and regulations. Day two focuses on practical mitigation and protection strategies for the safe handling, storage, and processing of flammable materials. The course addresses key requirements from NFPA 30, 67, 68, and 69.
A bundled option is available, combining the standard two-day course with an additional one-day class on Electrical Classification and Electrostatics Fundamentals.
Upcoming Course Dates:
- September 14-15, 2026
- November 9-10, 2026
Hazardous Area Classification & Electrostatics Fundamentals
Offered as a bundle with Combustible Dust Fundamentals or Flammable Liquids, Vapors & Gases. Contact us for more information.
Designed to strengthen your facility’s Basis of Safety, the course provides a clear, systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling electrical ignition and electrostatic hazards. Participants will gain practical skills to conduct Electrical (Hazardous Area) Classification studies, evaluate ignition sources from mechanical equipment and electrostatics, and specify appropriate electrical equipment for hazardous locations.
The course includes key requirements from NFPA 497 and NFPA 499.
Upcoming Course Dates:
- August 14, 2026
- September 16, 2026
- October 9, 2026
- November 11, 2026

Process Safety Management (PSM) Fundamentals
4-Day Virtual Course: $895
Process Safety Management (PSM) encompasses the management systems designed to prevent fires, explosions, and catastrophic releases of highly hazardous chemicals that could impact workers, the public, first responders, or the environment.
This course provides a practical roadmap for navigating OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 (PSM of Highly Hazardous Chemicals). Participants will learn how to determine when a process is covered, understand key differences between OSHA PSM and the EPA Risk Management Plan (RMP), and distinguish between OSHA’s framework and the CCPS Risk-Based Process Safety model. The course concludes with practical application guidance and a hands-on workshop focused on effective PSM implementation.
Upcoming Course Dates:
- August 24-27, 2026
- November 16-19, 2026
Chemical Reaction Hazards
2-Day Course: $895
Reactive and energetic materials are used throughout the world to produce a variety of products. This course will teach you how to evaluate the risks of chemical reactions from process upsets in a manufacturing plant setting that can lead to undesired or runaway chemical reaction events. The class will focus on reactive hazard identification, instruments and testing strategy for characterizing reactive chemical systems and introduce appropriate controls such as emergency relief system design. Case studies will be reviewed to illustrate the application of the concepts.
Upcoming Course Dates:
- November 16-17, 2026
Emergency Relief Vent Sizing and Runaway Reactions
5-Day Course: $1,995
This course is designed to cover the major aspects of safety relief systems sizing for single and multi-phase flow arising from loss of control of an exothermic chemical process. The course concentrates on the quantification and sizing of emergency vent systems for runaway reactions using experimental data derived from laboratory investigations. Emphasis is on the identification of the failure scenario and application of the appropriate calculation techniques required to arrive at correct system dimensions.
