Biogas Safety Training in the Philippines

A 3-day safety training was conducted face-to-face at 2 plant locations in South Cotabato, Philippines (Surallah and Polomolok). These 2 biogas plants were built by LIPP GmbH and in order to ensure a smooth operation of the plant, this safety training was initiated. The training was held by Mr. Michael Köttner, an experienced biogas safety trainer.

Day 1 of the training was focussed on safety basics in group work while day 2 and 3 were conducted at the biogas plants, allowing participants to experience a practical training. Among the participants were employees of the local factory Dole International who runs the plant, technicians and operators at the two biogas plants, representatives from the Department of Energy and Mapua University.
