• monitoring as part of working under a work permit

• open areas

• holding the gas tester by hand

• lowering the gas tester into a space, e.g. on a line

​

Course outline:

​

• Prepare for gas testing - type of gas, select and calibrate equipment, testing regime/sampling pattern, hazards from possible contaminants, hazard control methods, and appropriate PPE

• Test gas - use equipment, interpret and report readings, monitor gas, take required action, communicate required actions

• Maintain equipment - clean and maintain, inspect and fault-find, return equipment, and maintain records

​

The Work Safely at Heights component

​

• Identify work requirements – Apply compliance documentation, identify scope and any potential hazards, adhere to OHS requirements relevant to safe working at heights

• Identify work procedures and instructions for the task - Equipment selection and use, inspect/install fall protection equipment, install safety system, install appropriate signs and barricades

• Access and install equipment - Fit anchor fall systems, selecting solid and reliable anchorage

• Perform work at heights – Undertake work and manual handling of materials and equipment safely

• Clean up area – Dismantle safety system, clear work area, store tools and equipment.
