Master the fire codes, engineering standards, and clinical safety protocols that keep hyperbaric chambers safe, compliant, and accident-free.
Become a Safety Director
Course Overview
This program prepares you to lead safety operations at clinical hyperbaric facilities. Across 12 modules, you'll build a working command of fire codes, pressure and gas-law calculations, NFPA 99 Chapter 14 requirements, ASME/PVHO standards, mechanical systems, oxygen storage, clinical risk management, and emergency response. The course moves from foundational history and math into applied topics like inspections, safety program design, liability, and regulatory compliance — giving you the full toolkit a working Safety Director needs.
