Gas Test Atmospheres 
MSMWHS217 Gas test atmospheres

This unit is about testing the working atmosphere to determine if it is safe for the proposed work.

Testing involves the use of electronic test apparatus. In a typical scenario an individual may be required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere prior to entering a specific area or workspace. The competency requires the person to interpret readings and take actions based on the interpretation.

This unit is modelled on the Public Safety unit PUAFIR307A Monitor hazardous atmospheres, but does not have the prerequisites, which are not required in the industrial context. The unit is more focused on the needs of that sector and has some wording changes.

Things to bring with you:

• Drivers Licence or another form of legal identification. E.G. Passport, High Risk Work Licence
• USI Code

All students will be required to create or obtain their personal USI. Certificates cannot be issued without this number.
