At the end of our course they will.

Who should attend?

Any plant person who performs air monitoring using a direct read instrument, such as a combustible gas meter, single gas monitor, colorimetric sampler, flame ionization detector and/or photo ionization detector to make a decision should attend. This is true whether the decision making is for confined space entry, hot work, line breaking, respiratory protection requirements, extent of equipment decontamination, or identifying where to establish emergency response zones. 


Why attend?

Too much is a stake not to. Yes, the new generation direct read instruments are easy to use, but they do have limitations and a user needs to understand what they are. However, the real potential for error is in not knowing where to measure or how much testing is enough to declare that nothing is there. 

It is very easy to see something on a monitor and say a problem exists, but it is not as easy to see zeros or low numbers on the instrument and make the decision that everything is fine. There are many variables and all must be understood to make a safe decision. 

Many decisions are made every day based on the use of instruments. The end result of good investigative monitoring is NO fire, NO explosion, NO asphyxiation, NO exposure, and NO death or injury. 


About the Course

The course consists of 3-hours of hands-on monitoring and instructor interaction in a lab/workshop style atmosphere. Upon completion each student will:

		Have an in depth understanding of the instruments
		Have an understanding of the instruments’ limitations
		Understand calibration/”bump” check techniques
		Understand vapor density, vapor pressure and specific gravity
		Understand pH and neutralization
		Understand instrument response times and recovery times
		Understand interferences and cross contamination
		Understand the limitations of the data
		Know how to better apply the data
		Understand quality control requirements.

So far over 1000 people have been through the course as taught in our HAZMAT classes, and because of the overwhelmingly positive comments and very high rating of the class, we have decided to enhance the content and offer it as a stand alone 3-hour class for all instrument users.
