ASSE 6005 – Medical Gas Systems Generalist
ASSE 6005 is a general interest course for any person with an interest in knowing more about medical gas systems and equipment, the standards that govern them, general safety when working with them, or any other interest in the subject. The course provides an introduction to the rules of the NFPA 99, the NFPA 55, and the ASSE 6000 Series, along with an understanding of the roles of the gases, the environment of the medical gas system and safety when working with these systems. The safety of the patient is the central theme of the course. ASSE defines the medical gas generalist as any person having a general interest in the medical gas and vacuum systems and equipment and the course leads to that credential.
