The BullEx GASTRAINER™ is a gas detector simulator for hands-on HazMat response or chemical emergency training. It uses simulated electronic gas sources and a handheld training gas meter that allow for comprehensive confined space training, gas monitoring, and response training for both fire service professionals and safety personnel. Simulated gas sources can be set up in work areas, chemical storage facilities, and near HVAC equipment where HazMat dangers can actually exist. Students can train on how different gases behave, how to locate emission sources, and how to establish safety perimeters in the event of a hazard situation. www.bullexsafety.com. (888) 428-5539.
