Compressed Air Safety

The compressed air safety course covers employer responsibilities and the safety measures they must take. It also explains what employees need to do to protect themselves and others around them. Compressed air contains high levels of kinetic energy in a small space. This creates much higher pressure inside the container than outside.If not handled carefully, the pressurised air can escape at high speeds and temperatures. This can seriously harm people and damage buildings, equipment, and machinery. However, with a little care and attention, using compressed air can be much safer.

In this course, you’ll learn how to reduce the risks. Whether you’re an employer responsible for safety or an employee working with compressed air, this training is for you. You’ll learn what compressed air is and why it’s used. You’ll also explore what makes it dangerous.

Our compressed air safety helps employees and employers comply with the law. This course is 30 minutes long and made up of the following sections:

1. What is Compressed Air : This section explores what compressed air is, how its is used and the times it can be dangerous.
2. Compressed Air Systems : This section explores a compressed air system, breaking down the 5 key parts and how it all works.
3. How to manage the risks : The final section explores the risks associated with working with compressed air and how to manage the risk safely.

By the end of the compressed air safety course you will understand what it is and why its used. Learn how to identify the components that make up the system and recognise tools or equipment that use it.
