MGC, Inc. Announces Availability of Online ASSE 6040 Certification Course to Offer Greater Convenience and Flexibility in Attainment of Medical Gas Piping Certification and Overall Compliance
Web-based course allows qualified individuals to access medical gas training courses, compliant with ASSE 6000 series standard and NFPA 99, which are designed to train and certify individuals involved with repair, operation, maintenance, and periodic testing of medical gas and vacuum systems
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2011
MGI Systems and Certified Medical Gas Systems – the two leaders in medical gas online training who teamed up in 2010 to launch Medical Gas Certifications (MGC), Inc., an organization devoted to providing online courses toward ASSE 6000 series medical gas certifications – have announced the availability of the ASSE 6040 Medical Gas Systems Maintenance Personnel Certification Program at the Medical Gas Certifications, Inc. website (http://www.medgascerts.com). The program is intended to provide a web-based training and certification that offers greater flexibility in the achievement of compliance through ASSE 6040 certification.
MGC’s ASSE 6040 course – designed to allow medical gas and vacuum system maintenance technicians the opportunity to more conveniently work toward the ASSE Series 6000 Professional Qualifications Standard – is based on the code requirements identified in the NFPA 99, Standard for Health Care Facilities. Qualified individuals can gain instruction in medical gas systems general knowledge, applications, component overview, basic operating principles and performance characteristics, critical safety precautions, troubleshooting, routine maintenance and testing, and common repairs.
Medical gas piping systems in hospitals and healthcare facilities, are crucial in supplying piped oxygen, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and medical air to various areas within a facility. These systems, most often monitored by computerized alarms, require adherence to The Joint Commission and CMS standards and – in pursuit of Compliance – must be maintained by qualified technicians.
“With our ASSE 6040 course the difference is clearly in that, because ours is a web-based training, it gives individuals the ability to go at their own pace and to access the training materials from, literally, anywhere in the world and at any time,” said MGC CEO Dan Chisholm Jr. “It is comprehensive –comprised of a verification of a candidate’s required work experience, 32 hours of online training, and a final examination – but most importantly, I think, it makes the achievement of this important certification more accessible, more convenient, and more affordable for institutions that need to employ qualified technicians.”
The key features of the online ASSE 6040 training course are:
