Gas-free engineer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gas-free engineer (GFE) is a person that has successfully completed a similarly-named training course offered by the United States Navy. The gas-free engineer is thereby qualified to certify a confined space as being safe to enter without the use of an air-purifying or supplied air (SAR/SCBA) respirator. The confined space would, however, need to be ventilated during entry to ensure an adequate supply of breathable air.
