Ignition Controlled

Vacuum and fluid truck teams face static flammable vapour hazards on every pull.

Give them a field-ready system for bonding hoses, trucks, tanks and containers, confirming safe work zones before the job starts.

Train fast. Keep product flowing.

Operators practice how to identify ignition sources, bond to tanks, and maintain equipotential control in the toughest field scenarios. Rapid delivery keeps mobilization on schedule while improving readiness for high-risk transfers.

Cut through jargon and show operators what to do step by step. Teach crews real fluid transfer and tank cleaning scenarios so they bond and verify electrical continuity confidently in the field.

Why crews trust this training

Content is built on the experience of operators and serious incidents that have occurred in the field. Teams learn to establish safe work methods to help prevent static electricity from igniting flammable fluids and vapours.

  • Applies the same process to every site condition
  • No extra facilitators or classrooms required
  • Customized live support available when needed

Keep mobilization schedules on track

Online delivery means supervisors can launch the course immediately and confirm certificates before trucks leave the yard. Operators finish the training in hours -- not days -- so work proceeds without delay.

Leadership gets the assurance that each operator can recognize hazards and connect bonds properly.

Course Outline

Prevent fires and explosions caused by static electricity when transferring flammable fluids.

Includes

  • Bonding and Grounding Guide

    A PDF download is provided that summarizes the course content and can be used for reference throughout the course, during the exam and later when you apply the concepts in the field.

  • Electrical Basics

    Explains electricity in simple terms to provide a foundation for understanding the sources of electrical hazards for Vacuum/Fluid handling situations.

  • Hazard Identification

    Learn how to identify sources of hazards and how to manage them, when vacuuming or transferring flammable fluids where static electricity could cause fires and explosions.

  • Knowedge Test

    Questions are used throughout the course to reinforce your knowledge and there is a Final Exam with randomized questions to make sure you understand the concepts.
