Welding Safety Bundle

Course Description 

This course bundle comprises five courses: Welding, Cutting and Brazing, Welding, Cutting and Brazing Awareness, Health Concerns, Methods, and Safety Concerns. 

Welding, cutting, brazing, and other hot work areas every day and inherently dangerous activities on many job sites. Care must be taken to ensure that work is performed safely. These courses introduce common hazards associated with welding, cutting, and brazing and ways to prevent injury and damage. Ideal learners are workers who perform welding, cutting, and brazing and who perform hot work. Did you know hot work also has health hazards associated with welding fumes and light exposure?  You will be able to learn about chemicals, radiation, and light hazards and how to control them.  

Course Objectives  

• Describe the roles and personnel involved in welding, cutting, brazing, and other hot work operations.
• Recognize how the hot work permit system ensures that all hazards are identified, communicated, and controlled.
• Identify fire prevention techniques used during welding, cutting, and brazing.
• Understand hazards associated with oxyacetylene and arc welding and methods to mitigate risks.
• Recall the proper storage, handling, transportation, and use of compressed gas cylinders.
• Be aware of the chemical and physical agents produced in welding operations.
• Recognize the hazards in welding fumes that may be present during hot work. 
• Recall ways to control hazards, including ventilation, personal protective equipment (PPE), and body protection. 
• Understand the dangers and safe practices when working with oxyacetylene troches. 
• Identify personal protective equipment (PPE) to be worn.
