What’s New
Training for the moments that matter most
AFPM is advancing how the refining and petrochemical industries approach safety training by combining immersive technologies with practical, scenario-based learning. Through its Immersive Learning and Training Committee, AFPM brings people together to develop new tools using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality — technologies that help improve safety, boost performance and optimize training time across all safety disciplines.
Standing together to prevent falls
Working at height is a reality in refining and petrochemical operations — but serious injuries and fatalities don’t have to be. By sharing knowledge, reinforcing best practices and keeping fall prevention top of mind, the industry continues to strengthen its commitment to protecting workers.
