Course Details

In order to reduce the risks associated with hazardous gases, industrial plants should involve their Gas Testers in Authorized Gas Tester (AGT) training to ensure the safety of onsite workers and property assets.

Further, early detection of a modest quantity of a poisonous or flammable gas discharge at a chemical processing facility or at a petroleum refinery could make the difference between a manageable, small problem and something that might develop into a major tragedy.

 

Introduction

An essential component of feeling good and healthy is the quality of the air we breathe. Especially in the work environment, we can’t take the air we breathe for granted because as a result of industrial activities, the air we breathe may be hazardous or toxic to health.

For example, low oxygen levels can be caused by open flame activities like welding, cutting, or brazing, which in turn result in dizziness among workers.

Similarly, refinery/petrochemical applications and parking garages produce toxic gases like Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Carbon monoxide (CO) which may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system.

In addition to the health risk, combustible gases and vapors pose a threat of explosion and subsequent property loss. For instance, Methane (CH4), a common combustible gas, is found in confined spaces produced by microbial decomposition of materials like sewage and rotting vegetation.

It causes a catastrophic explosion if it is combined with the right oxygen levels near to an ignition source. In a similar vein, Hydrogen is a combustible gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic.

It is largely employed as a reactant in numerous sectors, including chemical, refining, metallurgy, glass, and electronics. However, as per the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA’s) standard, it possesses the highest rating on the flammable scale since it can explode in even minute concentrations when combined with air.

In order to reduce the risks associated with hazardous gases, industrial plants should involve their Gas Testers in Authorized Gas Tester (AGT) training to ensure the safety of onsite workers and property assets.

Further, early detection of a modest quantity of a poisonous or flammable gas discharge at a chemical processing facility or at a petroleum refinery could make the difference between a manageable, small problem and something that might develop into a major tragedy.

 

Training Objective

This training programme has been specially designed to provide relevant knowledge and expertise for those who are involved in carrying out gas tests for oxygen levels, flammable and toxic gases prior to hot work or work in a confined space.
