eLearning Modules
At the Compressed Gas Association (CGA), we’re focused on developing safety standards that reflect industry best practices for handling industrial, medical, and food gases, in as safe and effective a manner as possible. Our members who write these standards leverage in-depth knowledge and many years of experience in understanding the hazards of these gases and knowing how best to mitigate them – all with the goal of keeping everyone who comes into contact with these products as safe as possible.
We created our growing library of eLearning modules to present core concepts from our standards library in a format that is accessible and engaging for employees who are new to the industry. These innovative training resources are designed to provide a helpful roadmap for employees as they learn how to safely handle and work with compressed gases.
Each module explores simple concepts presented in a concise, easy-to-follow format, and includes video demonstrations and quizzes to ensure the viewer is successfully absorbing the content. Individual users can complete modules at their own pace, closing the training at any time and returning later to pick up where they left off.
