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.
