Course Overview

In hydrocarbon facilities, it is required to undertake gas testing in all locations where injury to personnel or damage to property could occur due to the presence of hazardous elements. These hazardous elements may consist of enriched or deficient oxygen levels or flammable, and toxic gases. Gas testing is required to confirm that the atmosphere in the work environment is safe before personnel is permitted to enter or conduct work. This course has theoretical and practical components that participants must successfully complete.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for personnel employed in industrial or construction jobs that are potentially exposed to hazardous atmospheres that require monitoring (Gas Testing) within their workplaces.
