Gas Monitor Competence Training – RKI GX-3R / GX-2009 Gas Monitor
This training meets the OSHA 1910.146(h)(2) requirement for proficiency in the operation of the RKI GX-3R (previously known as GX-2009) gas monitor. This course has been designed to fill the gap in the OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum, which lacks this critical information. Moreover, it offers a comprehensive refresher on the risks associated with confined space entry.
This instructional content is meant to complement, not replace, the user manual provided with your product. It’s crucial to thoroughly read the manual before operating the device. The product will only function as intended if it’s used and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If not, it could malfunction, jeopardizing the safety of those who depend on it, and potentially leading to severe injury or death.
The Gas Monitor Competence Training is not a luxury but a necessity. The gas detector, which is the worker’s lifeline, is not included in the OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. The OSHA courses are insufficient for ensuring workers’ ability to operate their gas detectors safely and confidently. The Gas Monitor Competence Training is tailored to your specific monitor and provides information that is not available in manuals or YouTube videos. This course narrows the gap between “compliant” and “safe,” and combines a confined space refresher with the most useful features of the gas monitors, thus more effectively complying with 1910.146(h)(2).
The course covers:
- Confined space refresher – definition and dangers
- Most common gases, their behaviors in confined spaces, and what they do to your body
- Secret, on-the-spot troubleshooting tricks of the trade including the Hard Zero©
- Correct and incorrect alarm responses
- Bump definition, reasons, myths, and performance
- Calibration definition, myths, performance
- The Four Calibration Situations©
- Pump vs non-pump operations and myths
- Basic and advanced functions
- Viewing peak exposures after an alarm
- Sensor types, warnings and troubleshooting
- Battery and Water Resistance key information
- Do’s and Don’ts
…and more.
