Gas Detection Equipment
Course Overview
Handheld mechanical gas testers are simple, electricity-free devices that measure the concentration of specific gases. Proper use is essential for accurate results. For continuous monitoring throughout a workday, devices such as electrochemical, catalytic bead, infrared, and photoionization sensors are available, each suited for detecting different gases. Once a monitor type is chosen, placement decisions, whether fixed, area-specific, or personal impact effectiveness. Understanding the pros and cons of each location is critical. Correct testing procedures and regular maintenance are essential to keep monitors reliable. This course also covers the hierarchy of hazard control, emphasizing that gas monitors are only one component of worker protection. A final exam evaluates your learning at the end of the course.
