Gas Detection Equipment

Course Overview

Understanding how to detect hazardous gases is critical for maintaining workplace safety. Our Gas Detection Training Online course introduces learners to the use of portable detection devices, including handheld testers that measure gas levels without external power. For ongoing safety, workers often rely on advanced monitoring systems such as catalytic bead, electrochemical, infrared, and photoionization sensors. Each technology is designed to detect specific gases, making them suitable for different industrial environments. Learners will also explore how detectors can be positioned, whether mounted in a fixed location, used in targeted zones, or worn by individuals as personal monitors. Choosing the right setup is essential, as each option has unique strengths and limitations. This course further explains the importance of regular testing, calibration, and preventive maintenance to ensure monitoring accuracy. Finally, participants will learn how gas detection supports the wider hierarchy of hazard control measures. A knowledge check at the end confirms understanding.
