Oxy-fuel Gas Inspector

This qualification gives delegates the information required to correctly inspect 3rd party oxy-fuel gas equipment, in line with BCGA codes of practice, CP7 mobile oxy-fuel gas equipment and CP47 single cylinder supply.

Oxy-fuel Gas Inspector

The objective of this qualification is to enable the delegate to demonstrate technical knowledge and practical skills required to inspect mobile oxy-fuel gas equipment and single-cylinder supply, in accordance with relevant regulations and industry codes of practice.

During this two-day course, delegates will follow the gas through the system, identifying key hazards and gas properties, selecting appropriate equipment, and conducting fault-finding procedures—all culminating in the establishment of a safe and compliant gas system.

This course is typically attended by service engineers, gas agents and distributors, carrying out the inspection of 3rd party oxy-fuel gas equipment.

Successful delegates will receive a Level 3 qualification ‘Mobile Oxy–Fuel Gas Equipment Inspection’, a Gas Inspector passport and test kit (RRP £140) and will be invited to join the Proactive Gas Safety Professional Community.

Be Proactive, Be Safe

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.

Inert Gases

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.

Oxidising Gases

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

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.
