Course Overview

Our Gas Test Atmosphere’s course is specifically designed for workers who may need to monitor potentially hazardous atmospheres in a confined space. It covers the skills and knowledge required to test the working atmosphere using electronic test apparatus, to determine whether it is safe for the proposed work, and applies to situations where an individual may be required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere prior to entering a specific area or workspace, interpret readings and take appropriate actions based on these readings.

Course Outline:

•     When gas testing is required
