Gas Detector Training Sydney – MSMWHS217
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 in gas test atmosphere course dates above.
We can also attend your site to conduct this gas awareness training for up to ten employees. Onsite training we can take up to ten people. Call 02 9892 3370 for more details.
You can combine this gas atmosphere testing with breathing apparatus training, which occurs on the same day. Learn more about our two-in-one gas testing and breathing apparatus course.
- Participants must be able to communicate in English, and must be able to fill out all necessary documentation.
- We can train people where English is an issue, but it needs to be on a specially scheduled programme and YOU WILL NEED TO provide an interpreter.
Course Information
- Be capable of explaining how the respiratory system works and how certain toxic gases affect persons who are exposed to them
- Be capable of assessing the hazards associated with toxic, explosive and oxygen-deficient or enriched environments
- Be able to operate, zero/span, delete data, recall data, accuracy check and safely use gas detection equipment
- Arrange for professional assistance when required to evaluate atmospheric hazards due to the situation being beyond the individual or organisation’s capabilities.
During the confined space gas detector training all staff will receive a manual, and will practically operate common 4-way gas detector monitors.
We suggest that attendees bring the company’s gas monitor for specific hands-on training. Otherwise, we use the Altair 4x & 5x GAS MONITORS and re-enforce the standard operating steps taken in the use of all gas tester equipment.

FAQs
Yes – you will have the necessary accreditation to conduct gas testing in your workplace across New South Wales.
We recommend a confined space gas monitor such as the Altair 4x & Microclip Gas Monitors.
Various gas detection supply companies have trained all our trainers and sales staff in the use and function of their monitors.
The service staff who calibrate and repair gas monitors receive technical training from specific suppliers, such as MSA, Honeywell and Riken. If we are not accredited directly by the supplier, we do not calibrate or service the monitor.
