Gas Testing Syllabus

The document outlines a syllabus for gas testing that covers 3 modules. Module 1 covers the composition of air and gases found in mines, the physiological effects of common mine gases, firedamp occurrence, and types of gas detectors. Module 2 is about flame safety lamps, including their history, principles of operation, parts, types of flames, and testing methods. Module 3 discusses regulations pertaining to ventilation, precautions for inflammable/noxious gases, flame safety lamp maintenance and use, and relevant sections of mining regulations. The syllabus includes both theoretical and practical demonstration components.
