This 1/2 day course (4 Hours) is appropriate for those working in operational roles where they are required to test the atmosphere to determine if it is safe to enter and work in confined spaces. Testing involves the use of electronic testing apparatus.

In a typical scenario an individual may be required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere prior to entering a specific area or workspace. This course gives the person the skills and knowledge required to interpret readings and take actions based on the interpretation.

After successfully completing this course applicants will have completed off-the-job training during which the following key theoretical and practical competencies were covered in relation to Gas Test Atmospheres:

• Determine gas testing regime/sampling pattern required
• Identify hazards from possible atmosphere containments
• Use gas testing equipment to test gas as required
• Intepret and report readings
• Monitor gas on an ongoing basis as required
• Take required actions if readings are unacceptable
• Maintain equipment
• Knowledge of common chemical asphyxiants
• Knowledge of explosive range, upper and lower explosive limits
• Knowledge of conditions under which atmospheres become hazardous
   

Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements that apply to this unit can vary between states, territories, and Industry sectors.  

The course comprises a written theory assessment, followed by a practical assessment. Participants need to have a strong command of the English language in order to complete the written assessment for these courses.
