Gas Detection Training

METI’s Gas Detection Training Course is designed and developed for anyone who works in plant sites, confined spaces, pipeline operations, drilling operations, servicing operations or oilfield operations where toxic gases and/or lower explosive limits may be found. We help you to identify toxic gases and lower explosive limits in hazardous atmospheres and to use various types of gas detection monitors. Gas Detection Training provides instruction for anyone working in or around toxic gases (for example Benzene, Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Petroleum Coke, Formaldehyde) and lower explosive limits (the lowest concentration/percentage of a gas or a vapor in air capable of producing a flash of fire in presence of an ignition source (arc, flame, heat)). By completing our Gas Detection Training Course you will be able to identify toxic gases and lower explosive limits in hazardous atmospheres and be able to safely and effectively use various types of gas detection monitors. Instruction in this Gas Detection Course with METI is a cost-effective way to ensure you or your team have the skills and knowledge to safely and effectively monitor for toxic gas and lower explosive limits. Confined spaces can, and often do, contain toxic gases and/or lower explosive limits. Many work sites, whether in processing, manufacturing, construction or oil and gas, require atmospheric testing for contaminants. Having the skills and knowledge to properly use gas detection monitors is key to working safely in these environments. This Gas Detection Course provides you with the skills and knowledge you need.

Gas Detection Training Course Key Benefits

Our Gas Detection Course provides you with what industry is looking for:

Gas Detection Course instruction from industry-experienced and certified instructors
Introduction to common gases and their properties, as found on most industrial construction work sites
Gases most often tested for
Testing procedures to be followed
Usage of International Scientific Corporation’s gas-detecting monitors to assess atmospheres

METI trains with various gas monitors, including Ibrid’s MX6

Users of gas detectors must understand much about gas detection before entering into potentially hazardous environments. This cannot be achieved by simply providing workers with gas monitors. Even as gas detectors become easier to use, injuries and deaths in our workplaces will continue as a result of improper use of the instruments. Workers should understand how to properly operate and maintain their gas detection instruments at all times. The workers must use the gas detectors in a way that ensures their safety, every day. METI’s Gas Detection Training instructs your workers on the principles and practices of gas detection and gives them hands-on training with the monitors.

Your Gas Detection Ticket/Certificate

Upon completion of this training, you will receive a wallet-size Ticket/Certificate that will show prospective employers that you have the right credentials. We keep your records on file permanently. Feel free to have your prospective employer contact METI to confirm your certificate. Back to our Safety Training.

As the owner of a small contracting company I understand the importance of keeping my employees safe. The success of my business depends on me being able to return my employees home safely to their families at the end of their workday and have them at work the next day to service our clients. We`ve had a safety program in place for years but recently organizations I contract for and my insurance company were requesting that we become “Safety Certified”. I reached out to METI for assistance in getting us audit ready; they reviewed my safety documentation, helped us with some revisions and coached me on the audit process. I`m happy to say that we were successful in achieving our “Safety Certified” accreditation.

Thank you to METI and Byron Donovan (Safety Advisor) for the professional assistance and for meeting our needs and timelines.

September, 2017: We have developed a great relationship with METI and their Pre-Employment Scaffolding Program over the past five years. Numerous graduates have been employed by Panels and Pipes and are always very well prepared to begin their careers as Scaffolders. They are well trained, knowing and understanding the basics of scaffolding and how to construct it safely. Along with their SAIA Scaffolding accreditation and added safety certifications METI graduates are always on the top of our list when hiring new Scaffolders.

September, 2017: METI has been providing excellent service, and reliable training for CLAC for many years. Their diverse course offerings, from OSSA certifications to SAIA Pre-Employment and journeyperson scaffold training has proven to be extremely valuable to us. Our continued strong relationship with METI allows CLAC members to access training in Eastern Canada. METI instructors are knowledgeable and have shown a real passion for ensuring our members are trained to the highest industry standards.

June 28, 2016: As a recent graduate of the SAIA (Scaffold and Access Industry Association) Program (June, 2016) as well as the Environmental Health and Safety Program (fall, 2015), I just wanted to thank all the dedicated staff at METI, especially Gerard Jessome, for passing along their infinite knowledge, skills and contacts during my training. With Gerard’s assistance, I was offered a position with Brock Canada Field Services immediately following the completion of my course. As a “mature” female student who has never worked in the oil and gas industry, I believe this opportunity presented itself on the basis of the excellent training provided by METI, and the respect they have earned for producing well qualified graduates. Keep up the great work!

I would like to thank METI for the great SAIA scaffold course they put on. I was able to find work right here in Sydney thanks, METI.
