Compressed Cylinder and Cryogenic Gas Safety

For staff involved in the handling, storage and use of compressed gases. The key aims of our gas safety training courses are to raise safety awareness and recommend best safety practices.

Such courses may be tailored to individual site needs in terms of gas products used, practical as well as theory training, post-course assessment of delegates, etc. Over the years, we have put together 'bespoke' gas safety training courses on hydrogen, sulphur dioxide, ammonia, safety in the filling of nitrogen cylinders, etc.
  • Hot Work Training
  • Hot Environments
  • Consuclting & Reports

'Hot Work' is the application or generation of heat (typically, welding, flame-cutting, grinding, etc.) on, or adjacent to plant or apparatus containing flammable or toxic materials.

Our 'Hot Work' courses were developed for PowerGen. We provide two packages on 'Hot Work':

  1. Hot Work Assessor training. This is aimed directly at those staff members who are required to carry out assessment of Hot Work and complete the necessary safety documentation.

  2. Hot Work Appreciation. In this case, we aim to enhance understanding of the Hot Work control for safety procedure in those who would be in receipt of a Hot Work permit or similar document.

  3. We can also provide Protective Sheeting Material.

This is the most recent training course to be developed by Gas Safety UK. In many industries, work is carried out in conditions where environmental temperatures are so high that they can create heat stress in the individuals concerned. This can bring with it the potential for compromising health and safety. Such work must, therefore, be carefully assessed and adequately controlled.

This course would be of benefit to those who would be responsible for ensuring safe systems of work for employees or colleagues in hot environments.

For some of our clients 'help' has come from our training input, for others we have been able to help by reporting upon site-specific safety issues and putting forward recommendations for their resolution. For examples:

  1. Gas stores design and organisation.

  2. Gas handling.

  3. The selection, care and maintenance of portable and fixed (manifolds & pipelines) gas control equipment.
