For those interested, Scott Anderson at Dive Alaska is hosting a PSI Visual Cylinder Inspector Class on 20 June. This certification course teaches the basics of conducting the annual visual inspections of solid wall and composite SCUBA and SCBA cylinders. The 6 - 8 hour course is suited for those new to visual inspection well as those who have been inspecting without formal training through its wide range of inspection subjects including damage limits, neck cracking, and laws affecting inspectors. Additionally, this course meets the OSHA and DOT requirements for employee HAZMAT training and attendants completing the course are qualified to conduct HAZMAT training for cylinder handlers . Previously certified inspectors may attend this full course for re-qualification. The course is open to anyone 16 years or older and no previous cylinder inspection experience is required. Participants receive certification as Visual Cylinder Inspectors upon course completion. PM me, or contact Scott for more details.
It is $300 for the class. That includes textbook, handouts, and certification. If you are a previously certified PSI Inspector and you want to do this for recertifcation, there is a reduced price, PM me for details on that.
