Gas Monitor Competence Training – GfG G450/G460 Gas Monitor

The Gas Monitor Competence Training ensures compliance with the OSHA 1910.146(h)(2) regulation by providing a comprehensive understanding of the GfG 450 & 460 gas monitors. This course is essential as it fills a knowledge gap left by the OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. It also serves as a valuable refresher on the risks associated with confined space entry.

DISCLAIMER

This training program is intended to augment, not replace, the operating manual that accompanies your product. It is important to thoroughly review the manual before utilizing the instrument. The product’s effectiveness relies on its usage and maintenance as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Failure to do so could result in malfunction, potentially causing severe personal injury or fatal accidents for those depending on the product for their safety.

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Gas Monitor Competence Training course is imperative, not optional, since the gas detector – the single piece of equipment that a worker’s life is contingent upon – is NOT INCLUDED in OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. Relying solely on OSHA courses can leave workers ill-equipped to safely and efficiently handle their gas detectors. Our course is tailored to your specific monitor and delivers insights beyond what you can find in manuals or online videos. This course not only bridges the gap between “compliance” and “safety” but also combines a confined space refresher with the practical features of the gas monitors, thereby meeting the requirements of 1910.146(h)(2) more effectively.
