Gas Monitor Competence Training – MSA Altair 5X with VOC Gas Monitor

This training is designed to meet the OSHA 1910.146(h)(2) standard for operating the MSA Altair 5X with VOC gas monitor. OSHA's Confined Space Entry curriculum does not encompass this crucial knowledge, making this course essential. It also doubles as a refresher on the hazards associated with confined space entry.

AVERTISSEMENT

This training is meant to supplement, not replace, the product’s operating manual. Before using the instrument, carefully read the manual. The product will function as intended only if it is used and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If not, the product could fail, potentially leading to severe personal injury or death for those depending on it.

APERÇU DU COURS

The Gas Monitor Competence Training is not a luxury but a requirement because the gas detector – the essential piece of equipment a worker depends on – is NOT INCLUDED in OSHA Confined Space Entry curriculum. Solely relying on OSHA courses might leave workers unprepared to operate their gas detectors securely and confidently. This course is tailored to your specific monitor and offers insights not available in manuals or YouTube videos. The Gas Monitor Competence Training course moves beyond simply being “compliant” to ensuring “safety,” combining components of a confined space refresher and the characteristics of the gas monitors most beneficial to workers, thereby effectively complying with 1910.146(h)(2).
