  • Testing activities associated with the certification of equipment used in areas where there is a risk of gas or dust explosions such as in underground coal mines, petroleum and gas installations and the like.
  • The monitoring and analysis of gas and dust samples where there is a risk of gas explosions or a danger to the health of workers.
  • The calibration of gas monitors and sampling pumps used for the monitoring of explosive environments or the level of worker exposure to dusts.

Congratulations David on this critical and deserving appointment.

Mr David Turner
