Competent Persons (MGPS)

Empowering Competence in Medical Gas Safety and Maintenance

Ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical gas pipeline systems (MGPS) is critical, requiring the skills of Competent Persons (MGPS) who are thoroughly trained and aware of their crucial role in patient safety.

Compliance and Expertise

Our training for Competent Persons (MGPS) meets the rigorous standards set forth in HTM 02-01, which outlines the distinct skills necessary for maintaining MGPS versus installing them. Our courses are designed to cater to both healthcare workers and commercial personnel involved in MGPS installation and maintenance.
