This course provides information to support the safe use of pre-charging an accumulator using nitrogen gas, in line with BCGA codes of practice, HSE guidance and other relevant legislation.
Available in a number of flexible formats to suit your requirements.
A safety course for the refilling of gas charged accumulators, providing delegates with an understanding of how to carry out the charge of gas loaded accumulators in a safe and efficient manner.
Participants learn how to conduct pre-use checks before commencing the charging of the accumulator. They also gain an understanding of potential hazards, explore strategies for identifying and mitigating risks, and share best practice and ideas.
Attendance gives staff the information required to understand the specific hazards associated with the task of charging an accumulator with a compressed inert gas, including understanding relevant pressure systems regulations and correct pre-charge set up.
This course is suitable for people who work with gas-charged accumulators, ensuring your organisation complies with obligations to train all staff exposed to risk.
Training Format: On-Site Training, Webinar Applicable Gases: Gas Acculmulators Related Industries: Calibration, Industrial, Laboratory, Maintenance, Site Maintenance

Attendance provides the information required to understand the specific hazards associated with compressed gases such as Nitrogen, CO2, Hydrogen and Argon and other gases used in Laboratory or Industrial applications, resulting in an assured workforce and a safer workplace.
These gases are colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making their presence undetectable. They can displace oxygen, creating an asphyxiant atmosphere.
The most common inert gases include argon, nitrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide.
Oxygen significantly supports combustion. Atmospheres that contain more than 23% oxygen are classified as enriched and poses an increased fire risk.
In an oxygen enriched atmosphere, even fire resistant materials, can ignite and burn intensely.
Flammable gases burn in air within certain concentration limits.
The range of these limits is called the flammability range.
These gases include acetylene, propane, butane, and hydrogen.
