Relationships with occupations
Essential skill
Transfer oxygen is an essential skill of the following occupations:
Air separation plant operator: Air separation plant operators control and maintain the equipment for nitrogen and oxygen extraction from air, ensuring the required operational parameters of pressure, flow and temperature are met. They perform product purity tests and monitor its transfer to storage tanks or to fill cylinders.
Optional skill
Transfer oxygen is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this skill may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.
Astronaut: Astronauts are crew members commanding spacecrafts for operations beyond low Earth orbit or higher than the regular altitude reached by commercial flights. They orbit the Earth in order to perform operations such as scientific research and experiments, launching or release of satellites, and building of space stations.
