Authorised Gas Tester Training

Do you select, use, sale or maintain fixed and portable gas detectors? If so the European Standard IEC 60079-29-2:2015 is an essential document to understand. So with this in mind, we have produced a new training programme to familiarise learners with its contents and more importantly how to apply what they hear.

Here at Arobase, we run the classic OPITO format authorised gas tester training courses. The content includes all required of the syllabus and more. However, we do not hold OPITO accredited status and do not intend to. For more on the reasons why, please see our article “Authorised Gas Tester or Just an Authorised Gas?”

Nitrogen purging of gas installations is an often neglected part of gas detector training. Over the past few years we have been researching the most effective way of nitrogen and vacuum purging oil and gas installations. As result we have been able to develop a new series of courses designed to help engineers and gas testers understand how gas behave in complicated pipe configurations.

Must I do an OPITO Authorised Gas Tester Training Course? A question we are very often asked and the honest and quickest answer is, only if your employer requires it.

So why you might ask, are so many organisations starting to ask for gas testers to have the qualification?

I’ve been very happily invigilating the latest Authorised Gas Tester refresher day at Arobase Limited’s new training office in Bristol.  Todays @gt training course was put on to update our friends in Gibraltar, who undertake an important role in keeping this vital UK port operating safety.
