An advanced interactive course on gas detection: 22 scenarios covering bump-testing, calibration, and alarm interpretation on realistic readings, validating 7 competencies. It teaches workers what a rising LEL or falling oxygen number means and what to do the instant an alarm sounds.
Portable gas detection (atmospheric monitoring) awareness training for anyone who relies on a 4-gas monitor — in confined spaces and in any workplace where an invisible atmospheric hazard can be present (utilities, oil and gas, water and wastewater, agriculture, manufacturing). Aligned with the Manitoba WSH Act (C.C.S.M. c.
Equip any worker who uses a portable gas monitor to understand that the instrument — not their senses — is the only reliable warning of an atmospheric hazard, to bump-test it before every use, to sample and read it correctly, to respond to alarms, and to know…
Workers who carry or rely on gas monitors around confined spaces, tanks, sewers, or process areas where the atmosphere can change.
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for one year.
This certificate records completion of knowledge training in gas detection and the use of a portable gas monitor. It does not authorize the holder to bump-test, calibrate or rely on any particular monitor. Before the work, the employer must confirm the worker is competent on the make and model of monitor actually issued — powering it on and fresh-air zeroing it, bump testing it, sampling at the correct depths, and acting on an alarm — and that hands-on evaluation is renewed per the employer program and commonly annual. The monitor manufacturer's instructions and calibration schedule always govern, and this training does not confer confined space entry competency.
About 1 hour 15 minutes online, over 5 modules, at your own pace. It ends with a final test that needs 80% to pass.
One year from the day you pass. Orientra’s standard is for training to be reviewed at least annually and whenever the equipment or procedure changes.
