SIR High Pressure Operator Machinist (HDO-M) combined e-learning/classroom course incl. exam

Layout

• What does the SIR High Pressure Operator Machinist (HDO-M) combined course look like?

  This high-pressure course covers both theory and practice of working with high-pressure equipment in accordance with the latest SIR guidelines. The combined programme consists of:

   

  E-learning

  Prior to the classroom training days, participants must complete an e-learning module as mandatory pre-study. This e-learning must be successfully completed before participation in the classroom sessions is allowed.

  After completing the e-learning, participants continue directly with day two of the full three-day classroom course. The combined course therefore consists of one e-learning module and two classroom training days, including the official SIR examination on the final day.

   

  Theory

  • Machine operator and operator: You operate and supervise; you are responsible for the entire process
  • Work assignment: Translating this into a concrete task distribution and verifying compliance with requirements
  • Supervision: Ensuring everyone knows what needs to be done, works safely, and uses the correct equipment
  • Control measures: Acting quickly and safely when issues arise
  • Checklist: Verifying safe start-up – from site demarcation to hose positioning

   

  Practical

  During the course, participants practise:

  • Setting up and operating the complete high-pressure installation
  • Performing work preparation and providing instructions
  • Resolving malfunctions during operations
  • Applying a safe work layout and effective communication with team members

   

  The SIR examination

  The examination consists of a theoretical and practical component, demonstrating that participants can work independently, responsibly, and in accordance with SIR guidelines, while also supervising others.

  
  The full final and assessment requirements are published on the SIR website.
