This online course provides a general overview of the important issues surrounding compressed gas safety.
We begin by defining the three types of compressed gases: Liquefied gases, Non-liquefied gases, and Dissolved gases.
You will learn about why and how gases are compressed, along with industry terminology and the different types of gas cylinders, including high-pressure, low-pressure, and cryogenic cylinders.
The course also covers the main types of compressed gas cylinder connections, valves, and pressure regulators.
Other topics include the four steps of a risk assessment and the hierarchy of control.
You'll be guided through the hazards involved in using, storing, and handling compressed gas cylinders—both chemical and physical. The course also covers bulk storage labelling and safety aspects when transporting, manually handling, and storing compressed gas cylinders.
We’ll discuss safety regulations and guidelines, regulators, gauges, and how to deal with a leaking cylinder.
You will also learn the correct way to dispatch, receive, and dispose of compressed gas cylinders. The course includes emergency procedures and highlights the importance of training initiatives.
Finally, we will describe the most common types of compressed gases, including LPG propane, compressed air, oxygen, and acetylene. Additionally, you’ll find useful notes on inert gases, helium, chlorine, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia.
When you have completed this course, you will be able to:
This course is aimed at anyone required to work with or near compressed gases as part of their role. It is also useful for supervisors and managers in workplaces that use compressed gases, as they will need to understand the potential hazards present.
Online training is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective, allowing candidates to progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time. This makes it easy to fit the training around work and personal life.
Other courses that complement this one include Safety in a Construction Environment, PPE, or any of the other industry-relevant health and safety courses.
