MSMWHS217 Gas test atmospheres

NATIONALLY RECOGNISED GAS ATMOSPHERES TESTING COURSE

What Will You Learn?

This nationally recognised course covers the testing of a working atmosphere, using electronic test apparatus (gas tester) to determine if it is safe for the proposed work. 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. Many work environments can pose hazards and can be unpredictable, especially in confined spaces. Down to Earth’s gas test atmospheres training course is suitable for anyone working in such areas as enclosed or partially enclosed spaces, hot work, storage tanks, silos, pits or testing as part of an issuing work permit.
