This course provides information to support the safe use of compressed gases, in line with BCGA codes of practice, HSE guidance and other relevant legislation.
Available in a number of flexible formats to suit your requirements.
This course is suitable for all those working with compressed gases and associated equipment commonly used in applications such as calibration, packaging, production and analysis.
The aim of this course is to highlight the importance of company risk assessments when using compressed gases, by demonstrating industry best practice.
Participants will learn how to conduct pre-use checks of the gas equipment in use, gain an understanding of potential hazards, explore strategies for identifying and mitigating risks, and share best practice and ideas.
Throughout the course, questions highlight key information and a final quiz reinforces the knowledge gained.
This course is available in a number of flexible formats to suit your requirements.
Training Format: E-Learning Course, On-Site Training, Webinar Applicable Gases: Acetylene, Argon, Butane, CO2, Helium, Hydrogen, Medical Gases, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Propane, Special Gases Related Industries: Agriculture, Construction, Education, Engineering, Healthcare, Highway Maintenance, Industrial, Laboratory, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Produce, 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 colourless, odourless, 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.
