This oxy-acetylene / propane gases safety training course provides learners with an understanding of the hazards and properties of oxy-fuel gases used in applications such as cutting, brazing, soldering and welding.
This course gives delegates the information needed to use Oxy-fuel gases safely, in line with BCGA codes of practice, HSE guidance and other relevant legislation.
The course is narrated and takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. Delegates can pause, stop, and resume at any time.
Throughout the course, questions are designed to reinforce key safety information. This is followed by a final quiz that requires a pass rate of 80% to be awarded a PGS Certificate of Achievement.
Certification is valid for 3 years, will be sent via email, and is available to download alongside supporting documentation.
Once activated, delegates have a maximum of 90 days to complete.

Don’t just take our word for it, see what some of our recent clients have said. You can even leave a review yourself.
“The course held my interest and has increased my knowledge of how to work safely with gases. The content is excellent and I think the supporting documentation is good”
“Good flow of information to keep interest, enjoyed the taster questions throughout the course. I enjoyed the course and will recommend this training to other areas of the business where staff require gas cylinder safety training”
“I undertook the e-Learning as a free trial to ascertain its benefit for my staff after contacting PGS through the web chat. The course is well put together with a sensible level of detail. Being able to leave and return to training at any point in the day was of particular benefit. I would recommend this training to any agricultural workshop or farm workshop”
“The course held my interest and has increased my knowledge of gases safety. I thought the training content was excellent and very relevant to my job, overall, I thought the training was very good”
“I’ve really enjoyed the perfect amount of detail in the course, where you come away from a slide knowing what was meant, but not feeling overloaded with information. A really good balance, and really informative about legal requirements. Thanks”
This course 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.
