Authorized Gas Tester Training
This training programme equips the delegate with knowledge to conduct gas testing within confined spaces and awareness of associated confined space hazards. Delegates will also learn about relevant legislative requirements, gas measuring, monitoring equipment and documenting gas test results.
The Authorized Gas Tester Training aims to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely perform gas testing in various work environments.
The primary objectives include:
Understanding Gas Hazards: Develop a comprehensive understanding of different gas hazards and their potential risks.
Gas Testing Techniques: Acquire skills in using gas testing equipment and performing effective gas tests.
Interpretation of Results: Learn how to interpret gas test results and make informed decisions based on the findings.
Emergency Response: Understand and implement effective emergency response procedures in case of gas-related incidents.
