Gas Monitor Competence Training

  Gas detection is essential in protecting workers in industrial environments throughout the United States against air-borne hazards. Employees could be exposed to oxygen deficiency, toxic gases or combustible atmospheres where they work at wastewater treatment plants, manufacturing plants, oil and gas operations, utilities, and construction sites. Ensuring that the gas monitor is used properly can mean the difference between identifying a hazard and unknowingly entering one for workers who work in and around confined spaces. A gas detector will only work if the user knows what it does, how it alerts for various gases, how it detects them, how to sample them, and its limitations. In fact, Ventis Gas Monitor Training is especially beneficial for teams operating Industrial Scientific Ventis Series monitors. There are many aspects of safe entry taught in OSHA's confined space training, but workers also must have practical skills on the gas detection equipment they use. The Gas Mo...

  In high-risk industrial environments, achieving complete atmospheric safety demands a highly technical, data-driven approach to workforce development. Field crews along major industrial corridors – from the intensive oil refining complexes and petrochemical plants along the United States coastline to the massive civil engineering, utility, and municipal wastewater networks across the nation – face the daily threat of invisible atmospheric hazards. Lethal concentrations of combustible gases and toxic vapors can quickly build up in industrial confined spaces such as deep utility vaults, storage silos and underground sections of pipelines, or oxygen can quickly be lost. These airborne hazards are entirely colorless and odorless, so the survival of an entire work crew is dependent on their ability to read and manipulate specialized safety instrumentation without hesitation. The completion of an advanced Annual Gas Monitor Refresher Course has become a critical operational baseline...
