Is this course for you?
This course is for those taking on the role of Authorised Person (MGPS) and who have, or will have, responsibility for the safe operation, installation and maintenance of medical gas pipeline systems.
It is particularly suitable for current Competent Persons (MGPS) who require additional training in the role, responsibilities and competencies required for the role of the Authorised Person (MGPS).
The course is also suitable for those whose roles require them to have an understanding of the medical gas system management processes, for example a compliance manager.
If you don’t have a technical or managerial background in medical gas pipeline systems, the full 10-day Authorised Person course (MGAP) is likely to be more suitable.
