Gasfitting Legislation and Safety

This recognised course was developed to assist industry in particular companies maintaining their own gas installations and appliances on site to comply with all 7 conditions attached to a Gasfitting Authorisation and meet Building and Energy’s Training Plan requirements.

The Gasfitting Legislation and Safety Course for "Supervised Gas Fitters" provides a basic understanding for unlicensed personnel (typically welders, pipe fitters, mechanical fitters, electricians, instrument technicians, etc) of their role and statutory obligations under gasfitting legislation in WA and general gas safety.

This enables a “Supervising Gas Fitter” or Class I gas fitter to demonstrate at any Building and Energy audit that personnel working under their licence have been suitably trained.

Course Modules:

  • Gas Legislation in WA;

  • Gas Licensing in WA: and

  • Fuel Gas Safety (including combustion, flue gas and exhaust principles)

Learning Outcomes:

Course Location:

The course is normally conducted on site for companies because of numbers. However I have been able to assist clients who have individuals coming in from interstate or overseas and need “supervised” training, before they are allowed on site. I can deliver face to face (maximum 3) from my home in North Coogee, or online via Skype or Teams.
