Introduction:

This training program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, aims to equip professionals working in industrial environments with the technical skills and systematic approaches required to troubleshoot, maintain, and restore operations in fire and gas (F&G) detection systems. As these systems are critical to facility safety and regulatory compliance, any failure or malfunction must be identified and resolved promptly and effectively. This program focuses on real-world scenarios, field diagnostics, and practical solutions for fire alarm panels, suppression devices, gas detectors, and integrated safety networks. Participants will engage with industry standards, hands-on case studies, and best practices to build robust troubleshooting competence.


Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the design, functionality, and components of fire and gas detection systems in industrial settings.

  • Identify and diagnose common faults and failures in fire alarm systems and gas detection devices.

  • Apply effective troubleshooting methodologies using standard tools and software.

  • Perform inspection, testing, calibration, and maintenance procedures safely and accurately.

  • Interpret alarm signals, system logs, and diagnostic outputs for root cause analysis.

  • Reduce downtime and improve the reliability and integrity of fire and gas systems.

  • Comply with international codes and safety regulations (NFPA, ISA, IEC, etc.).


Course Methodology:

  • Interactive theoretical presentations and real-world applications

  • Hands-on troubleshooting simulations (equipment, panels, sensors)

  • Group discussions and problem-solving workshops

  • Case studies from oil & gas, petrochemical, and manufacturing sectors

  • Live demonstrations using diagnostic tools and software (where applicable)

  • Daily reviews and practical exercises


Organizational Impact:

  • Minimize risks and incidents through improved safety system reliability

  • Reduce costly system downtimes with timely and accurate fault resolution

  • Ensure compliance with industrial safety standards and audits

  • Enhance technical team capability in diagnosing and solving F&G issues

  • Support continuous operational safety improvement initiatives


Target Audience:

  • Fire & Safety Engineers

  • Instrumentation & Control Technicians

  • Maintenance Engineers and Supervisors

  • HSE Professionals

  • Electrical & Electronic Engineers working in hazardous environments

  • Facility and Operations Managers in industrial sectors
