Simulation training programs

The explosive simulator (M80) is used in boobytraps, land mine detection and deactivation training programs. It is used to simulate hand grenades, booby traps, land mines, and rifle or artillery fire... 

Computer-based training is widely used in many industries, particularly aerospace and nuclear power, to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the training program. Although the use of simulators has been less widespread in the process industries, they are becoming more widely accepted because of the similarities between the process industry and airlines and nuclear power facilities. These similarities include the following ... 

Emergency simulations - Process simulations can be developed into a regular part of the training program within a unit or facility-wide. These exercises may include procedural questioimaires and job diaries to facilitate a better understanding of the complex... 

A comprehensive operator training program was set-up after the Factory Acceptance Test of the Honeywell Experion PKS system and prior to the start-up of the plant. Three parallel simulators, each covering a section of the plant, were installed. All panel operators and their backups were formally trained by 8 trainers, over a period of 10 months and in two shifts. 

The simulation hospital is capable of the various kinds of simulation training. However, it is characterized by certain specialized simulation programs that are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
