Description

An Authorised Gas Tester is required when performing a test for oxygen and when work involves flammable and toxic gases up to and including working in confined spaces. Also, for those involved with testing for flammable gases in preparation for hot work, and for personnel who provide safety watch duties for the ongoing monitoring of a hot work site.

The risk of incidents involving gas is significant across the international oil and gas industry, particularly when working in confined spaces or during hot work. Indeed, according to Oil & Gas UK, hydrocarbon releases (HCRs) were the single largest category of reportable incidents (37%) in 2018.

The knowledge gained in this course will help you understand how, when and where to carry out the necessary gas tests prior to confined space entry activities and hot work, supporting you in positively contributing to the safety of the asset, your fellow workers and yourself. A reduction in incidents means a safer working environment for everyone.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
