Positive Air Shutdown Systems
This web-based education program imparts knowledge on the fundamental operation of Positive Air Shutdown (PAS) systems to operators of commercial vehicles. This education is pivotal for ensuring the operator's safety during work hours.
The Positive Air Shutdown (PAS) system of a truck is among its most crucial safety components, and it is now a federal requirement for trucks engaged in the conveyance of specific categories of hazardous goods. Yet, a significant number of operators lack basic knowledge concerning the operation and assessment of their PAS systems.
This web-based course aims to acquaint commercial vehicle operators with this essential safety tool. It does so by elucidating the workings of Positive Air Shutdown Systems and the elementary procedures needed to accurately assess their operational status. Training in these aspects is fundamental for ensuring a truck’s PAS system is fully operational and can thus adequately safeguard an operator in case of an emergency.
The ensuing topics are encompassed in this online Positive Air Shutdown Systems course:
- The hazards linked with operating a diesel engine in areas with potentially flammable atmospheres
- The fundamental components of a Positive Air Shutdown system
- The Canadian federally-mandated requirements about the use of Positive Air Shutdown systems
- The elementary functions of Positive Air Shutdown systems, and how properly-installed systems protect you from hazards
- The primary differences between manual and automatic systems, and why automatic systems are preferred
- The reasons why regular testing of Positive Air Shutdown systems is so critical
