Employers & employees must meet their obligations in respect of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 Section 2.2: ‘provide
information, training & supervision to all people who are exposed to risks’. This training module addresses the need for gas safety training in an industrial setting.
Prior to training PGS will ascertain what, where & how gases are used. We will then structure the gas safety training programme to place emphasis on elements most appropriate to your gas usage.
