Course in Design, Installation, Use and Maintenance of Beverage Gas Installations
This Nationally Accredited Training course is intended to not only cover the areas discussed in AS5034-2001, but to give an in-depth education in the gases involved, the equipment to be used and training to assist in meeting the requirements of “Duty of Care” in the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000.
The Standard continually refers to a “competent person”. It is generally accepted in OH&S regulations that a competent person is one who has acquired through training, qualifications or experience, or a combination of them, the knowledge and skills to carry out the task.
The training course is designed to make people involved in the hospitality industry competent to certain levels, depending on the number of units attained and the requirement of their role with beverage gases and equipment.
