The Echo3 online AGT course is designed to meet the initial training and validation requirements for individuals preparing to work as Authorised Gas Testers (AGT). The course provides comprehensive training on the use of various gas testing instruments and prepares participants to operate safely in a range of work environments.
An Authorised Gas Tester (AGT) is responsible for conducting tests to measure oxygen levels, and detect flammable and toxic gases, particularly when work is being carried out in confined spaces. AGTs also play a critical role in testing for flammable gases before hot work begins and support safety watch duties during ongoing hot work operations.
Industries that handle hydrocarbons, chemicals, solvents, paints, cleaning products, or generate significant hydrocarbon-based waste may require the use of authorised gas testers.
The knowledge gained in this AGT course will help you understand when, where, and how to carry out essential gas testing to ensure that the atmosphere is safe before starting hot work or working in confined spaces.
This online Authorised Gas Tester (AGT) training course is to provide you with a brief background of the requirements of Gas Testing procedures and the Confined Space Entry procedure.
In addition, provide you with an overview of the roles and responsibilities involved in Gas Testing, and enhance your knowledge of basic hazard management of oxygen enriched / deficient, toxic and flammable gas atmospheres.
On completion of this course you will have improved your competency and ability to identify hazardous environments that may be Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health, and also determine the associated risks in the work place during pre-work site inspections.
The risk of incidents involving gas occurs across the international oil and gas industry, particularly when working in confined spaces or during hot work. According to Oil & Gas UK, Hydrocarbon releases (HCRs) were the single largest category of reportable incidents (47%) in 2021.
The knowledge gained in this course will help you understand how, when and where to carry out the necessary gas tests prior to confined space entry activities. Having the accurate knowledge to ensure that atmospheres are safe for hot work or work activities in confined spaces, gives you the skills to positively contribute to the safety of the asset, your fellow workers and yourself. A reduction in incidents means a safer working environment for everyone.
