This competency applies to situations where an individual is required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere before entering a specific workspace. It requires the person to interpret readings and take necessary actions based on the interpretation.
The working environment may be hazardous, unpredictable, subject to time pressure, chaotic, and expose responders to risk. It may occur on land or water, by day or night. The workplace atmosphere may contain visible and invisible hazards, including hazardous surfaces.
This unit of competency is suitable for use in various situations, including confined spaces, enclosed and partially enclosed spaces, hot work environments, storage tanks, silos, pits, pipes, shafts, ducts, transport vehicles, and ships.
