Hazmat Training For SCBA Dive Stores / Firemen Title 49 CFR 172.700

For this reason the U.S. Government enacted Title 49 CFR 172.700. Simply stated it mandates that all persons who handle, transport, or are likely to be affected by the hazards of compressed gas cylinders and their contents, must receive appropriate safety training. The regulation further states that hazardous material (hazmat) training within the dive and fire protection industries should provide specific safety awareness for all applicable groups, such as employees, service technicians, air fill station operators (FSO), nitrox gas blenders as well as volunteer helpers, and even customers.

EK Sowell provides training to cylinder inspectors. His business provides a one day training course to representatives of fire departments and dive stores.

Training for hazmat affected employees must be completed within 90 days of hire and must be renewed every three years. For more information about renewal training contact at cell (936) 552.4207.

Training must include:

A typical PSI training course includes: proper handling, filling, suggested fill policies, transporting, inspection, how to detect disguised damage, storage, establishing a respiratory protective program, record keeping, and more.

To receive more information about how the regulation effects your business, or to get information about training or renewal, call EK Sowell cell (936)552-4207 website: www.ss.fm or email him at eks@ss.fm
