This course provides information to support the safe use of cryogenic gases and equipment, in line with BCGA codes of practice, HSE guidance and other relevant legislation.
Available in a number of flexible formats to suit your requirements.
Predominantly focusing on the hazards of nitrogen in its liquid and gaseous phases, this course gives delegates all the information they need to use cryogenic liquids safely, in line with BCGA codes of practice and HSE guidance.
Participants learn how to conduct checks, gain an understanding of potential hazards, explore strategies for identifying and mitigating risks, and share best practice and ideas.
This course is suitable for all those working with cryogenic liquids for scientific, industrial and medical applications and assists in ensuring your organisation complies with obligations to train all staff exposed to risk.
Training Format: E-Learning Course, On-Site Training, Webinar Applicable Gases: Cryogenic Gases, Dry Ice, Liquid Nitrogen, Medical Gases Related Industries: Engineering, Industrial, Laboratory, Manufacturing, Produce

The course involves identifying hazards, understanding why they may pose a risk, sharing best practices and ideas, and exploring potential strategies to mitigate these hazards.
* The trainer will demonstrate decanting procedures from a pressurised vessel (less than 1,000 litres) to a dewar, and invite learners to practice to ensure compliance with safe procedures.
We offer the opportunity to be a part of our passport scheme, this is for delegates who have passed both theory, and practical sessions.
Practical sessions are included as standard with on-site courses.
If required you can choose to add practical sessions following e-Learning or Webinars.
Delegates require suitable PPE in order to participate.
Certification is valid for 3 years.

Attendance provides the information required to understand the specific hazards associated with cryogens such as Liquid Nitrogen, CO2, Hydrogen 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.
