Welding is a potentially dangerous process, with many hazards and risks to people’s health. These risks are compounded by the fact that welding is undertaken across a wide range of locations and situations, from workshops and field work, through to confined spaces, underground mine sites, and more.
Hazards in each of these situations will be different, and require different controls to keep welders and others in close proximity safe.It is critical to manage these risks and hazards so that people working in the welding industry are kept safe and return home at the end of each day without injury.
About the Course
The objective of the Welder Safety training courses is to improve safety awareness, knowledge and outcomes across the welding industry. The courses cover a broad range of subject material across welding processes. They provide details of hazards that may be encountered and how to manage them in the workplace. The hierarchy of controls are discussed, with a particular focus on engineering controls and the correct use of PPE.
The courses also reinforce procedures that should be used, such as correct set up and use of equipment and the correct handling of gas cylinders and welding machines. Assessment and certification for course participants is also available.\
