MSMWHS217
Gas Test Atmospheres
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to recognise and assess conditions that require gas testing; test the working atmosphere using an electronic test apparatus and interpret the results to determine if it is safe for the proposed job activity.
This course applies to situations where an individual may be required to perform gas testing prior to entering a specific area or workspace and whilst work is carried out in the workspace.
Situations that require testing might include:
- Confined spaces, enclosed and partially enclosed spaces, & open areas
- Storage tanks, silos, pits, pipes, shafts, ducts, transport vehicles and ships
- Testing as part of issuing a work permit
- Monitoring as part of working under a work permit
- Holding the gas tester by hand and hot work
- Lowering the gas tester into a space, e.g. on a line.
