Mobile air compressors are commonly used for maintenance/construction work in oil and gas facilities/sites. There is still a lack of knowledge on the safe operation and maintenance of diesel-powered air compressors for many Work Leaders, technicians, and engineers. The industries need to address this problem urgently to ensure that all mobile air compressors are operated safely and maintained properly to avoid unnecessary downtime due to the breakdown of mobile air compressors.
Objectives
The aims of the IMM MICO – Competent Mobile Industrial Compressor Operator are to ensure that all site personnel that operates mobile industrial compressor have reached a recognized level of operational knowledge and awareness and to enable them to work on the site more efficiently and productively. It is also to ensure to validate existing skills of workers and is an alternative method of affirmation. This one-day training aims to provide participants with the much-needed basic knowledge and skills in the safe operation and maintenance of diesel-powered mobile air compressors.
