It&#8217;s crucial to thoroughly read the manual before operating the product. The product&#8217;s performance is contingent upon its usage and maintenance according to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. If neglected, improper performance may lead to serious injury or even death for those dependent on it for safety.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">COURSE SUMMARY<\/span>     <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;compliant&#8221; and being &#8220;safe&#8221;. 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).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\">     <span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">COURSE CONTENT<\/span>     <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\">The course covers:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 14.0px\">\n<li>Refresher on confined spaces &#8211; definition and hazards<\/li>\n<li>Most prevalent gases, their characteristics in confined spaces, and their effects on the human body<\/li>\n<li>Trade secrets for immediate troubleshooting, including the Hard Zero\u00a9<\/li>\n<li>Correct and incorrect response to alarms<\/li>\n<li>Definition, reasons, misconceptions, and execution of Bump<\/li>\n<li>Definition, misconceptions, execution of Calibration<\/li>\n<li>The Four Calibration Scenarios\u00a9<\/li>\n<li>The truth about pump vs non-pump operations<\/li>\n<li>Basic and advanced functionalities<\/li>\n<li>How to view peak exposures post an alarm<\/li>\n<li>Types of sensors, warnings, and troubleshooting<\/li>\n<li>Essential information on Battery and Water Resistance<\/li>\n<li>Best practices and things to avoid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14.0px\">&#8230;and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\">     <span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">ONLINE COURSE DURATION<\/span>     <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\">Roughly 90 minutes<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\">     <span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">PASS MARK<\/span>     <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\">Pass mark 80%<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\">     <span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION<\/span>     <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\">Completion certificate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.0px\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\">     <span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">COURSE PREVIEW<\/span>     <\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This course is designed to fulfill the OSHA 1910.146(h)(2) requirement for comprehensive understanding of MSA Altair 5X &#038; 4 (or 4X) gas monitors.
