The rules have changed! The United States
Government now requires cylinder requalifiers to
be trained as visual cylinder inspectors and the PSI program is
the most established, most respected and most comprehensive
training commercially available. Because PSI is the
recognized source of professional training in the visual
inspection of high pressure gas cylinders, USDOT requires the
yearly visual inspection of Luxfer’s fiber wrapped SCUBA
cylinder be conducted ONLY by PSI trained inspectors.
There is absolutely no better preparation available anywhere to
be a professional cylinder inspector trainer.
If you are a dedicated and motivated individual who is also
trained as an instructor or teacher, PSI is looking for you to
become one of our family of professional Cylinder Inspector
Trainers. Besides being an excellent way to promote safety in
the high pressure gas cylinder industry, being a PSI Instructor
is also an effective way to earn additional income in this
rapidly expanding field.
This PSI Instructor
Training Course is conducted by PSI founder and President
Bill High,
and veteran PSI Instructors Dale Fox and Mark Gresham. The
ITC will provide you with the information, skills and
confidence to instruct high pressure cylinder users in the
professional visual inspection of SCUBA and SCBA cylinders. You
will gain up-to-the-minute information on cylinder history,
specifications, markings, and inspection techniques. Most
importantly, you will receive extensive practical experience in
the actual professional inspection of cylinders. Upon completion
you will be qualified to teach all PSI courses.
This is a four day ITC
conducted in Fairfax, VA in early April of each year
usually begins at 0800 on Thursday and is completed by about 1300
