Boiler courses added

Spirax Sarco is adding more courses to meet demand for boiler operator training. The number of delegates taking the Spirax Sarco Boiler Operation Accreditation Scheme (BOAS) course has tripled since the second half of 2011; demand for refresher courses is also up.

Boiler operators and managers are seeking to enhance their knowledge of steam management systems in line with BG01 'Guidance on Safe Operation of Boilers'. BG01 recommends specific training to promote safe and competent boiler operations. This includes Certified Industrial Boiler Operator status for operators and Diploma in Boiler Plant Operation Management for managers. Both are covered in Spirax Sarco's BOAS training course.

Spirax Sarco's training facility has a fully-operational steam system with SCADA control. Staff are trained to a high standard on steam management, boosting awareness of the energy saving and environmental aspects of steam plant, as well safety issues.
