About this course

When such high levels of kinetic energy are contained in small, compressed spaces, the pressure inside the container is much higher than the pressure outside of the container. If you don’t handle this with care, the pressurised air can escape at very high speeds and temperatures, which can cause serious harm to people and damage to buildings, objects, and machinery. But with a little care and attention, you can make handling compressed air much safer.

During this course, you’ll learn how you can reduce the risks posed by compressed air – whether you’re an employer who’s responsible for the safety of your workforce, or an employee who works with compressed air on a regular basis.

This course will help you understand what compressed air is, why it’s used, and what makes it so dangerous; what responsibilities employers have and what safe working practices they need to put in place; and what employees need to do to ensure their own safety as well as anyone else who might be affected by their work.

Overall very good

There was one question, that made no sense at all. So, my answer was really a gamble and it was incorrect. Never mind, I passed anyway.

Excellent

The course has given me the knowledge and understanding some things that can cause fire like sticking too many plugs on one socket, hot oil and candles unattended .Raise alarm when there is a fire, not to take lift .

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

The Work in Compressed Air Regulations 1996 provide a framework for the management of Health & Safety risks by those undertaking work in compressed air. They address such issues as:

  • Notifying the HSE
  • Safe systems of work
  • Competent persons to undertake various defined roles
  • Provision of equipment
  • Health surveillance
  • Compression and decompression procedures
  • Medical treatment
  • Emergency procedures
  • Fire precautions
  • Provision of information, instruction, and training
  • Maintenance of health and exposure records
