Gas Test Atmospheres

Course Overview:

This nationally recognised course covers theory and practical aspects of the above course. As part of your training we will assist you to develop safe work method statements and job safety analysis (JSA) risk assessments and confined space permits.

Workers who complete or supervise Gas test atmospheres will benefit from this course. This course will enable you to comply with current workplace health and safety (WHS) obligations and legislation with successful participants receiving a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and wallet card.

Training and assessment can be conducted at your workplace for groups or off-site at All Global Training Darwin.

Participants will have an increased awareness and the skills to safely complete the following:

• When gas testing is required in the workplace

• Types of hazardous atmospheres

• Affects of unsafe atmospheres

• How to conduct the gas testing

• Determine if the atmosphere is safe to work in

Weather you work in general construction, maintenance, mining, oil and gas, large factories or other work situation when workers need to undertake monitoring of potentially hazardous atmospheres you need to be trained and be competent.
