Gas Monitor Competence Training – BW Ultra Gas Monitor

This course is designed to fulfill the OSHA 1910.146(h)(2) requirement for proficiency in operating the BW Ultra gas monitor. The OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum does not encompass this crucial knowledge, hence the need for this course. It also acts as a refresher on the inherent risks of confined space entry.

Gas Monitor Competence Training – BW Ultra Gas Monitor

DISCLAIMER


This training program is intended to complement, not replace, the operational manual provided with your device. It is essential to thoroughly review the manual before using the instrument. The device will function as intended only if it is used and maintained following the manufacturer's guidelines. Failure to do so might result in the product malfunctioning, potentially causing severe personal injury or death to those depending on it for safety.


COURSE OVERVIEW


The Gas Monitor Competence Training is a necessity, not a luxury, as the gas detector - an essential safety device for workers - is NOT INCLUDED in OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. OSHA courses alone leave workers incapable of operating their gas detectors safely and confidently. This course is tailored to your specific monitor and offers what you won't find in manuals or online videos. Our Gas Monitor Competence Training fills the knowledge gap between being "compliant" and being "safe," combining elements of a confined space refresher and the functionality of the gas monitors, providing a more effective compliance with 1910.146(h)(2).

The course encompasses:

  • Confined space refresher - defining and understanding the risks
