Gas Detection Training
Course Dates
The biggest killer in a confined space is the atmosphere. The only way to determine atmospheric quality is through gas detection. Remember your nose is only an odour detector, it does not detect gas. The gases we are looking for fall under the categories of toxic, flammable and oxygen excess or deficiency. Enrol on course dates above.
We can also attend your site to conduct this training for your employees. Onsite training we can take up to ten people. Call 02 9892 3370 for more details.
You can combine this training with breathing apparatus training, which occurs on the same day. click here for the combined course
