MSMWHS217 Gas Test Atmospheres (Half-Day Course)
Nationally Recognised Unit of Competency
Course Overview
This course MSMWHS217 Gas test atmospheres provides nationally recognised training in the skills and knowledge required to test workplace atmospheres and determine whether an area is safe for proposed work. Delivered by Raines Resources in Perth, this half-day gas testing course develops participants’ ability to identify potential atmospheric hazards, select and check appropriate gas detection equipment, conduct atmospheric testing, interpret gas readings and take appropriate action when results indicate an unacceptable level of risk.
