Cylinder Hazmat Handler Course

 Eddy Current testing is a powerful addition (and now required by USDOT to be updated every three years) to visual cylinder inspection; however many in the industry continue to use such instruments on the wrong cylinders or fail to operate the equipment properly. This 2 hour course provides Visual Cylinder Inspectors with the added training to know when and how to conduct proper Eddy Current Tests of appropriate cylinders in addition to hands on experience with Eddy Current instruments. Because of its part in the inspection process, attendees are required to be currently certified as PSI-PCI Visual Cylinder Inspectors and will receive certification as Eddy Current Technician upon course completion valid for 3 years
