eLearning – Approved Filler Certification Theory Course

PLEASE CHECK THE APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE FURTHER BELOW TO ENSURE THAT THIS COURSE IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

People filling containers with gases under pressure, including cylinders, aerosols, and non-refillable containers must be trained and hold an Approved Filler compliance certificate. This certificate is issued by a compliance certifier and lasts 5 years before it must be renewed.

To become an Approved Filler, you need to demonstrate that you have the necessary training, knowledge and skills to fill gas containers safely. This includes:

• Knowledge on the proper procedures and key safety measures when filling containers with gases under pressure
• Understanding the different forms of gases under pressure. Specifically:
  • Low-pressure liquefiable gas
  • High-pressure liquefiable gas
  • Permanent gases
  • Cryogenic gases that may be held at very low temperatures
• Being acutely aware of factors that can trigger the failure of a gas container
• Undersanding the consequences of a gas container failure associated with the different forms of gases under pressure, including but not limited to asphyxiation and other detrimental consequences to health
• Knowledge on how to inspect a gas container to ensure that it is fit for purpose and not faulty.

This eLearning course forms the theoretical component of the two-stage Approved Filler process. You must still provide additional evidence to be submitted to a Compliance Certifier for review before the compliance certificate is signed off.
