Training Event Details
Course Name:
The Meter Guys Air Monitoring for First Responders
Course Description:
This course focuses on the First Responder and how to use a meter properly, understand the readings they see, and the implications of such on emergency responses. Students will participate in Lecture, Case Studies, and Hands-On meter training involving DOT transported chemicals. Upon completion of this course the First Responder will learn about calibration and bump testing importance, and peak readings, STEL, and fresh air calibration. The students will learn about each individual sensor in the 4-Gas Meter (LEL, O2, CO, H2S) so they better understand what their meter is telling them while on an emergency response on highway tanker accidents, as well as gas leaks, confined space, CO and other calls where first responder safety could be at risk. They will understand and physically experience the meter alarms during the course with meters that are brought with us for your First Responders to use.
