A comprehensive course in the fundamentals of handheld gas detection for use in confined space entry and HazMat. It explains why we need gas detection, a short discussion of chemical properties, how gas detectors work and an understanding of exposure limits is included. Trainees are taught to look through the "eyes" of the gas detector to better solve gas detection problems by using all the detection “angles” available to them. Detection options (tubes, O2, LEL, electrochemical, NDIR, PIDs, FIDs, MOS), sensor specifications, sampling techniques, calibration, intrinsic safety requirements and datalogging may be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
This course is designed to provide a foundation for intermediate and advanced users of gas detectors for use in industrial applications such as confined space entry and in HazMat response.
Attendees will gain a basic understanding of how these devices work and the parameters under which they operate properly and poorly.
Course attendees should leave with a better understanding of how to increase the speed from detection to decisions
