We offer a range of traditional instructor-led gas safety training workshops for staff in laboratories in universities and research environments that are part of IUPC (Inter-University Purchasing Committee).
They are delivered at your site by highly skilled and experienced course directors.

You can opt to have theory-only training, or theory with a practical element, which can be a demonstration by our trainer or a longer hands-on session involving your delegates.

Benefits

  • Training delivered by highly skilled, industry trained and experienced course directors
  • Training is delivered on-site so is directly related to the delegates’ work environment
  • A wide variety of safety training workshops are available, covering all aspects of gas usage in laboratory and research environments

Who should attend

  • Anyone using, handling or storing compressed gas cylinders
  • Safety personnel and other managers with operational responsibility for safety

Gas safety training workshop objectives

Each of our laboratory safety training workshops has its own specific objectives, but those common to all are:

  • Correctly identify gas cylinders
  • Recognise the hazards associated with gases
  • Reduce risks when using compressed gases
  • Understand the hazards posed by oxygen deficiency and enrichment
  • Identify flammability hazards
  • Select the correct gas control equipment
