Where to Get Medical Gas Certification and Training
WHERE TO GET MEDICAL GAS
CERTIFICATION AND
TRAINING?
Certifications can come througha variety of sources.
Healthcare facilities can createtheir education
program following guidelines offered by the American
Society of Sanitary Engineers. ASSE
providesmemberswith "professional
development, advocacy, and standards
development.
ASSE 6030
Verifier
To become an ASSE 6030 Verifier, an individual must have at
least two years of documented practical experience in the
verification of medical
gas systems, as well as completion of a minimum 32-hour training
course instructed by an ASSE 6050 instructor. To earn the
certification, the
individual must then pass a written and practical exam
administered by a
third-party certification body.
6040 Maintenance
Personnel
For 6040 Maintenance Personnel, the individual shall be required to
have at least one year of experience in the maintenance of medical
gas and
vacuum systems and must attend a minimum 24-hour training
course.
And like the verifier, the individual must pass a written exam
and be certified by a third-party certification body. However,
testing of
maintenance personnel shall consist of only a written exam.
With either of the two above options comes challenges. First,
the individual must gain the necessary experience while not
overstepping their qualifications. Secondly, in a time of tight
healthcare budgets and minimal staff, it is often difficult for
facilities to spare theirworkforce for the required training
course.
Documented Training
Program
The facility has the option of accepting a documented training
program for employees or those contracted for working on specific
equipment within the facility. However, when maintaining medical
gas and vacuum systems, it is essential to consider all the
complexities of each gas system, the requirements of NFPA 99 and
the various AHJ’s, manufacturer’s recommendations, and any
ongoing or future construction.
All aspects can have implications for the day-to-day
maintenance of your healthcare facility. Therefore, 6040 or
6030 certifications are recommended if an individual will be
providing in-depth, daily medical gas maintenance at a facility.
