BCGA does not accredit, approve or in any way guarantee the services offered by members here and customers should seek their own assurances in that respect as appropriate. However BCGA training providers have composed and adhere to their own standard, outlined on our Guidance Note GN20. To go to GN20 click here.

BCGA strongly supports the requirement under the Health & Safety at Work Act for employees to be formally trained in the carrying out of their duties. With regard to the manufacture, distribution and use of industrial gases this places a general duty on employers to provide formal training to their employees in:

The properties of the gases How to handle the gases and containers How to operate any equipment using the gases How to maintain such equipment What to do in case of unplanned gas escapes The use of appropriate protective equipment

This training should be provided formally, with written records, and ideally should feature an assessment of competence after the training is delivered. There should also be a schedule of re-training appropriate to the employee and the tasks being undertaken. Companies who are capable of carrying out such training on a contract basis and who have taken out Associate Membership of the BCGA are:
