Gas Monitors (also known as Gas detectors) keep workplaces and people safe.
Do you know how they work?
How to select them and maintain them so that they continue to enhance safety in your workplace?
You probably already know just how important Gas Monitors training is and how difficult it can be to learn everything that you need to know.
Just as the correct selection and use of gas monitors can save you and your workplace from disaster, the wrong selection or improper working of gas monitors can actually cause a disaster!
A wrongly selected gas monitor will not only fail to work properly, but it will also lull you into a false sense of security.
This is worse than not having a gas monitor at all!
This is not a hypothetical situation.
It happens plenty of times in industrial plants all over the world. As a typical example consider the recent cases below:
Case 1: Explosion in Corrugated Paper Mill in Wisconsin
Workers who were doing hot work above a storage tank that had inflammable materials inside, did not do an "explosive gas test" before they started working, leading to an explosion and fire, causing multiple fatalities. The US Chemical Safety Board has now come out with a safety bulletin highlighting this incident.
This is the latest case out of a series of cases that have happened over the past few years. Most causes can ultimately be traced to a lack of training to design personnel, safety personnel and workers about hazardous gases and the methods to detect them and prevent disasters, by using proper gas monitors.
Case 2: Explosion at an Ethylene Oxide facility in Ontario, California
The facility was using Ethylene Oxide, a highly explosive gas to sterilize medical devices. However it did not have proper gas monitoring, to detect presence of Ethylene Oxide, finally leading to an explosion and injuries to several workers.
Comprehensive
covers all aspects of Gas Monitors including types of gases, what all the jargon about TWA, STEL, etc means, principles of working of different kinds of sensors, selection, installation, calibration and maintenance
Cost Effective
costs a fraction of what it would take to enroll in a classroom course or seminar ( if you can find one, that is).
Easy To Understand
Full of rich graphics, real life plant videos and Flash based animations, unlike those boring books. Makes learning more of fun and less of a chore.
Vendor Neutral
The course is not based upon some gas monitor manufacturer's product line, it is a completely neutral, technology oriented course. So you get a true understanding of the technology behind gas monitoring-so essential if you want to evaluate different vendors.

Why an e-learning course on Gas Monitors?
Gas Monitors are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from ranging from semiconductor manufacturing, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, chemical plants and oil & gas production facilities. Millions of gas monitors work everyday in these places, to warn personnel working in these places about potential disasters like leaking gases, explosive vapors or toxic emissions.
Unfortunately, up to now, there was no single classroom training course, or e-learning course which could provide sufficient information, in an easy to understand way, how to select gas monitors, install them correctly and maintain and calibrate them, so that they continue to work well.
If you are an Instrumentation & Controls professional, automation expert, safety professional or an operations and maintenance engineer, working in any of these places, you would be certainly interested in knowing more about these instruments and to know how they can help you prevent disasters.
Ditto if you are a design engineer involved in the design of facilities that may have hazardous and/or toxic gases, or a government regulator, or an independent consultant working on projects. You will find this course extremely useful.
Even vendors of gas detection equipment and system integrators who use gas monitors as part of their equipment (like gas turbines), have successfully used this course to train their own staff and customers.
Of course you can come across many "free" training courses, but they are often sponsored by some vendors, with hidden agendas, who wish to promote their own products and technology.
You, as an intelligent user, are entitled to an unbiased, factual training course, made by professionals who have extensive experience as users (rather than vendors).
So here's what this course has to offer….read on below
Until now, you had to spend years studying books, reports and other training materials. And if you're like most people, you'd just end up more confused than you were before you started the training.
However, now you can have a better way.
Here's THE Fastest, Easiest and Most Inexpensive Way To Learn EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Gas Monitors
This training course on Gas Monitors offers you the following unbeatable benefits.
You can also pay by Bank Transfer, Wire transfer, Webmoney, Paypal, physical check and several other methods. Please click on the "Add to Cart" button above and follow the steps.
Note: This course can be customized for corporations or other institutions who wish to buy multiple licenses. For larger companies, this course is also available as an online version, reducing the cost of training per person substantially. Write to us at mail@abhisam.com with your inquiry.
