WHERE TO GET MEDICAL GAS CERTIFICATION AND TRAINING?
Certifications can come through a 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
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.
