Hydrogen will play a central role in the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy. This one-day accredited course gives learners a clear introduction to hydrogen safety, focusing on how hydrogen is produced, stored and used, and the controls required to work safely around hydrogen in industrial and commercial environments.
The qualification has been developed by SIAS in line with the Hydrogen Skills Framework to ensure it meets current industry expectations and safety standards. It is suitable for those entering the hydrogen sector for the first time or for workers in related industries who need an introduction to hydrogen safety principles.
