The utilisation of gases in the potentially hazardous laboratory environment may present a unique set of risks; employers are required to provide adequate safety training in the safe management and use of all gases.
Prior to training PGS will ascertain what, where & how gases are used. We will then structure the programme to place emphasis on elements most appropriate to your gas usage.
This workshop combines a 3.5 hour classroom session with 1 hour practical instruction on manual handling & regulator fitting in a laboratory context.
