Gas Detection Training
The biggest killer in a confined space is the atmosphere. The only way to determine atmospheric quality is through gas detection. Remember your nose is only an odour detector, it does not detect gas. The gases we are looking for fall under the categories of toxic, flammable and oxygen excess or deficiency…
Learning outcomes are:
- Be capable of explaining how the respiratory system works and how certain toxic gases effect persons that are exposed to them
- Be capable of assessing the hazards associated with toxic, explosive and oxygen deficient or enriched environments
- Be able to operate, zero/span, delete data, recall data, accuracy check and safely use gas detection equipment
- Arrange for professional assistance when required to evaluate atmospheric hazards due to the situation being beyond the individual or organisations capabilities.
During the training all staff will recieve a manual, and will practically operate common 4 gas monitors.
The training is conducted in a 4 hour session.
Upon successful completion of the training, the participant will recieve a certificate of competency in:
MSAPMOHS217A Gas Test Atmosphere
This programme is conducted upon request. There are no scheduled dates, but this module is covered every week in our confined space training course. Therefore we arrange for those people wishing to gain the competency, to join our confined space course for this segment of the training. If you have a number of people requiring this training, we may be able to set up a specific training time for you, either at our site or yours.
We suggest that attendees bring the company gas monitor for specific hands on training. Otherwise we use the IMPACT & MICROCLIP GAS MONITORS and re-enforce the standard operating steps taken in the use of all gas monitors.
