Gas Test Training Courses SA

Gas test training, on-site Adelaide, Gawler, Barossa, Riverland, Murray Bridge, Adelaide Hills, Mildura and regional SA, NSW & VIC.  So as to control the atmospheric hazards associated with work in confined spaces, it is necessary to test for, level of oxygen, atmospheric contaminants and any flammable gas or vapour present in the space.

Testing the atmosphere in a confined space for gases is a routine part of the risk management process.  Testing needs to be carried out by a  competent person using a suitable, correctly calibrated detector. 

This training delivers the skills and knowledge required to test the working atmosphere, using electronic test apparatus, to find out if it is safe for the proposed work. Workplace atmospheres may include visible and invisible hazards and hazardous surfaces. It applies to situations where an individual may be required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere prior to entering a specific area or workspace. The competency requires the person to interpret readings and take actions based on the interpretation  

• Recognise and assess conditions that require testing
• Use gas testing equipment
• Take readings, interpret and communicate relevant data
• Take required action if readings are unacceptable
• Clean and maintain gas testing equipment in accordance with procedures

Our Gas Test Training is delivered through our state-of-the-art Mobile Training Trailer, specially designed to provide practical, hands-on training in a controlled, simulated work environment. This mobile facility allows us to deliver training in:

• Confined Space Entry
• Working at Heights
• Breathing Apparatus (BA) Operation
• Gas Atmosphere Testing
• And more...

Confined Space Entry:
Our trailer includes a roof access hatch that enables realistic confined space entry exercises, allowing for training in top-entry and restricted-entry procedures. Equipped with a tripod setup, trainees can practice safe entry, exit, and rescue techniques under expert guidance.

Horizontal and Vertical Entry Simulation:
The trailer’s side hatch door replicates tight, horizontal entry scenarios, ideal for confined space practice. We also include specialized confined space rescue winches and other entry equipment for a comprehensive learning experience.

Heights Training Platform:
The roof of our trailer has a dedicated heights platform, simulating access and egress in elevated environments. Stabilizers attached at each corner provide a secure, steady base, minimizing movement during practical exercises.

Comprehensive Equipment Setup:
Our trailer is fully equipped with the latest safety and rescue gear, including:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for confined spaces and heights
• Rescue and isolation equipment such as winches, lockout panels, and ‘gotcha’ kits
• Safety markers, signage, bunting, and exclusion zone cones
• A wide range of full-body harnesses, karabiners, and rope/inertia reel setups
• Emergency response gear, including first aid kits, defibrillators, and CPR manikins

This cutting-edge mobile training facility brings practical safety training directly to your worksite, ensuring your team receives the best possible training in a familiar environment
