Nitrogen Awareness Course
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in Earth’s atmosphere, making up 78% of the air we breathe.
Nitrogen has many industrial uses. For example, purging explosive atmospheres prior to confined space entry. Nitrogen is also used to increase the shelf life of foods.
Nitrogen is a non-toxic gas that is also inert. Meaning it is not flammable. But, working with nitrogen brings hazards. These hazards must be appropriately controlled by employers.
This Nitrogen Awareness course provides learners with the knowledge they need to work safely around Nitrogen.
Upon successful completion a CPD accredited certificate is emailed to the learner and made available to administrators.
Course Content
UNIT 1 | INTRODUCTION TO NITROGEN
In this first unit we introduce you to the uses and potential dangers from Nitrogen. We also cover the laws required to stay compliant while working with Nitrogen.
