Gas Test Atmosphere
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)This course covers the skills and knowledge required to test the working atmosphere, using electronic test apparatus, to find out if it is safe for the proposed work. It applies to situations where an individual may be required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere prior to entering a specific area or workspace. The competency requires the person to interpret readings and take actions based on the interpretation. This training applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team or group and working in liaison with other shift team members and the control room operator, as appropriate.
Before entering into certain spaces, it is important to test and confirm the presence of gases. Failure to do this can result in serious complications. Anyone who takes the course will be able to understand how to use electronic test equipment for testing.
Working environments may be hazardous, unpredictable, subject to time pressure, chaotic and expose responders to risk, on land or water, by day or night. Workplace atmospheres may include visible and invisible hazards and hazardous surfaces.
