The Gas Detection Safety course provides a complete introduction to the risks, behaviours, and hazards associated with workplace gases. This bundled program combines five essential gas safety modules, giving learners a clear understanding of how gases behave, how to detect them, and how to respond during emergencies. Through each module, participants explore topics such as gas characteristics, detection equipment, respirators, emergency planning, and ammonia-specific hazards.

The training begins with a look at how gases move, accumulate, and interact with temperature, pressure, and confined spaces. Learners then progress into the proper use of gas detection equipment—covering handheld, fixed, and personal monitors—all designed to help prevent exposure to dangerous atmospheres. The course also includes detailed instruction on respirator selection, fit, care, and legal requirements, helping workers stay protected during hazardous tasks.

A dedicated section on ammonia safety closes the program, offering practical guidance for handling, storing, and identifying ammonia hazards. By the end, participants will understand how to recognize gas-related risks, interpret alarms, and take the right steps to prevent incidents in the workplace.

Gas detection plays a critical role in preventing injuries caused by toxic, flammable, or oxygen-deficient environments. Understanding how gases behave, how exposure occurs, and how detection systems work helps workers make safer decisions on the job. This course gives learners the foundational knowledge needed to navigate hazardous atmospheres confidently.

This online gas detection training takes approximately 150 minutes to complete. Learners can start, pause, and resume the course at their convenience.

A minimum score of 80% is required to pass the final exam. Participants have three attempts to achieve a passing grade. Short quizzes throughout the training reinforce key concepts and ensure understanding.

Upon successful completion, learners can download and print a digital certificate. This document confirms their understanding of gas detection, respirator use, emergency response, and ammonia safety practices.
