These programmes are designed to meet the initial onshore training and validation requirements for personnel preparing to work as Authorised Gas Testers for a variety of products and work environments.
JMS Consultants work with clients to tailor training to the client’s specific needs across many sectors including exploration and production oil and gas companies, petrochemical and shipping companies, pharmaceutical companies, steel producers, tank cleaning and vessel inspection companies.
Authorised Gas Tester is required for those involved with performing a test for oxygen, flammable and toxic gases up to and including working in confined spaces, for those involved with testing for flammable gases in preparation for hot work and for those who provide safety watch duties by the ongoing monitoring of a hot work site.
NOTE: In the workplace, persons undertaking Standby/Safety Watch duties at the entrance to a confined space shall be an Authorised Gas Tester or Gas Monitor.
There are no delegate pre-requisites for attendance on this course.
All personnel who participate in gas testing training should be medically fit and capable of participating fully. The responsibility for the individual completing the course, without any adverse effects to their present state of health, lies with the delegate and/or the company sponsoring the delegate.
Delegates attending these training and validation programmes will be given a series of explanations and demonstrations which will identify what they are expected to know and do.
During the initial training programme, delegates will gain an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of an Authorised Gas Tester.
The training course consists of the following modules and elements:
Module 1 – Authorised Gas Tester
Module 2 – Testing for flammable gas in preparation for hot work
Module 3 – Confined Space Testing
Module 4 – Gas Monitoring for Hot Work Sites
On successful completion of the training, the delegate will be able to demonstrate an understanding of:
Module 1 – Authorised Gas Tester
Module 2 – Testing for flammable gas in preparation for hot work
Module 3 – Confined space testing
Module 4 – Gas monitoring for hot work sites
PPE will be required (Hard hat, steel toe capped boots & glasses). Please ensure arms and legs are covered.
Validation of the delegates’ performance will be against the stated Training Outcomes and will be achieved using a combination of Multiple-Choice Questionnaires and, where appropriate, observation/questioning during a practical exercise.
Delegates successfully completing the course validation will be judged to have met the learning outcomes for the Authorised Gas Tester standard. They should proceed to the workplace for site-specific assessment under the direct supervision of a competent person.
