The main aim of the course is to cover some of the basic key elements for the adoption of safe working practices, and to provide a greater appreciation of the hazards associated with working in explosive atmospheres.
All material is presented in Microsoft PowerPoint. Electronic handouts are given to candidates and are intended to be used as an aide-memoir tool in the future. (Hard copies are available at a cost.)

The candidate’s knowledge is assessed through an online, multiple choice examination.
