The Authorized Gas Tester (AGT) course is a specialized safety program designed for professionals working in environments where oxygen deficiency or toxic gas presence may pose serious health and safety risks.
Participants will learn how to perform gas testing, detect toxic gases, and measure oxygen levels in confined spaces, basements, and industrial environments.
The course ensures that learners gain the competence to conduct accurate atmospheric testing before, during, and after confined space entry operations .
following international safety standards used in the oil & gas, petrochemical, fertilizer, and offshore/onshore sectors.
Introduction to gas testing and confined space awareness.
Properties and classification of gases (flammable, toxic, and asphyxiant).
Understanding oxygen deficiency and enrichment
Types of gas detectors and their calibration.
Procedures for gas testing in confined spaces and basements.
