Gas Monitor Competence Training – MSA Altair5X / Altair 4 Gas Monitors

This course is designed to fulfill the OSHA 1910.146(h)(2) requirement for comprehensive understanding of MSA Altair 5X & 4 (or 4X) gas monitors. The necessity of this course stems from the fact that crucial information about these gas monitors is not included in the OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. This course also acts as a refresher on the perils associated with confined space entry.

COURSE SUMMARY

The necessity of the Gas Monitor Competence Training course stems from the fact that the gas detector, a vital piece of safety equipment, is not covered in the OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. Relying solely on OSHA courses may leave workers unequipped to operate their gas detectors efficiently and safely. This course is tailored to your specific monitor and delivers information that cannot be found in user manuals or online videos. The Gas Monitor Competence Training course bridges the gap between being “compliant” and being “safe”. It combines elements of a confined space refresher with useful features of the gas monitors that are most beneficial to workers, thereby aligning more effectively with 1910.146(h)(2).
