Benefits of Gas Safety Training and Education
Gas safety training offers numerous benefits to distributors and partners such as:
- Personnel Protection: Helps mitigate risks related to compressed gases
- Accident Prevention: Empowers staff to prevent and respond to gas-related incidents
- Regulatory Compliance: Keeps your team aligned with OSHA, NIOSH, NFPA, and IFC requirements
- Environmental Protection: Reduces the risk of leaks, property damage, and environmental harm
- Customer Safety: Ensures safer delivery and handling procedures across industries
- Enhanced Reputation: Builds trust with customers and inspection agencies
- Cost Savings: Minimizes downtime, injuries, insurance costs, and liability exposure
Frequency of Gas Safety Training
When it comes to gas safety training, employees and partners should remain up-to-date on the most current safety guidelines and procedures. CO2Meter recommends both individuals and teams partake in trainings on an annual basis. These gas safety training programs should be completed by both new and existing personnel to gain the continued knowledge and skills needed to prevent workplace hazards from occurring.
CO2Meter's training program further provides awareness about how to identify and prevent hazards in the field. It educates distributors and partners with the necessary tools to look for, avoid, and prevent hazards common in the workplace due to the presence of gas at high concentrations.
What You'll Learn During Gas Safety Training
When it comes to gas safety training and education, one core element is understanding gas safety hazards and the regulations that have been created due to incidents in the field.
By understanding these codes and regulations, partners and gas distributors will know what to do to ensure code compliance and protection. The goal is to keep facilities safe and that requires a constant understanding of the continual code updates and their editions.
These regulations stem specifically from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Board Inspection Code (NBIC), and the International Fire Code (IFC) who have all utilized recommendations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) exposure limits to require gas safety monitors to be set in place.
In addition, potential exposure to high levels of gas concentrations can lead to several adverse effects on the body due to its impact on the body's respiratory system such as:
- Respiratory Distress: High levels of can interfere with the body's ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. This can result in difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and respiratory distress.
- Headache and Dizziness: Increased gas levels can cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and lightheadedness. These symptoms may be the body's response to reduced oxygen intake.
- Increased Heart Rate: To compensate for reduced oxygen concentrations, the heart may start beating faster to deliver oxygen to critical organs. This increased heart rate can lead to palpitations and also an elevated pulse.
- Confusion and Disorientation: Prolonged exposure to high levels of gas concentrations can directly affect brain function, leading to confusion, disorientation, and impaired cognitive abilities.
- Loss of Consciousness: In extreme cases, particularly when gas levels are very high, prolonged exposure can result in loss of consciousness or even death due to oxygen deprivation.
The Role of Gas Safety Monitoring in the Field
We also emphasize the importance of installing and maintaining gas safety alarms across high-risk areas such as:
- Walk-in coolers
- Beverage gas delivery areas
- Laboratories and grow rooms
- Manufacturing and storage facilities
- Key benefits of using gas safety alarms include:
- Early Warning Alerts for leaks or malfunctioning equipment
- Ventilation Monitoring in enclosed or high-occupancy spaces
- Regulatory Compliance with local building and fire codes
- Improved Workplace Safety and peace of mind for technicians and end users

Gas Distributors Share Their Stories
We have received ample feedback from our partners and distributors on how our gas safety training programs have helped their businesses. Below we share a few examples from our valued partners on how our program has helped protect their staff and employees in the field.
Helget Gas Products
At Helget Gas, CO2Meter provided an on-site visit and presented gas safety training combined with sales best practices to keep their staff, customers, and customers' teams safe from the hazards of gases, like CO2. In December of 2023, the Southeast Sales Team at Helget also visited CO2Meter headquarters and participated in a similar safety training and team building program.
Overall, many great discussions were had from both Helget's sales teams and learning from each other’s experiences - working together to educate on the topic of gas safety and for the Helget team to gain further knowledge and preparation when out in the field.
Post-training Helget Gas has been able to add further value for its customers in sharing core education and safety protocols, as well as see an incremental add in revenue to their bottom line from gas safety monitoring solutions.
"We're proud to have had the opportunity to invest in our sales executives' professional development with CO2Meter safety training and appreciate them for investing in our people." - Shaun Albeck, Sales Executive, Helget Gas.
Leonard's Syrups
At Leonard's Syrups, CO2Meter provided an on-site visit at their Detroit location to further aid their staff in providing customers with the necessary safety guidelines when working near gas and helped their internal team with technical best practices for using gas safety monitoring solutions.
Overall, many guidelines were shared regarding what to do in the event of a potential incident, what regulations teams should consider and how to further safeguard their staff when encountering CO2. The training was critical across many areas for installers, technicians, and CO2 delivery drivers which head major accounts and work in environments like walk-in beer coolers and CO2 tank locations.
Post-training Leonard's mentioned the value of the gas safety training for bringing both staff and clients operational peace of mind and an easier relationship with their local inspection agencies. They now have the most up-to-date gas safety education and technical backing to mitigate potential hazards from occurring in the field.
