Gas Detection Training Course
Conducted by our experienced confined space technicians, this course is designed to train participants to plan and conduct works within confined space environments by providing practical knowledge of confined space atmospheric hazards, how to detect them and how to establish and implement effective control measures to provide a safe working environment.
This course is run as the 2nd day of our Working in Confined Spaces Supervisor course. Anyone who is required to enter and work in confined spaces should also attend our Working in Confined Spaces course, which is the 1st day of our Working in Confined Spaces Supervisor course, to gain an understanding of the legal and practical requirements necessary to operate in a confined space environment.
