objectivesThe Welding/Hot Work for Construction online safety course from OSHA Education School is designed to familiarize participants with the common safety hazards, safe work practices, and necessary control techniques surrounding welding operations. Following OSHA’s welding regulations, this course teaches participants to do engage in safe work practices to mitigate and prevent potential workplace injuries.
OSHA Education School’s Welding/Hot Work for Construction course teaches participants safe work practices, adhering to OSHA’s regulations surrounding welding safety. Participants will learn about the different kinds of welding hazards, including fumes and gases, fire and explosions, electric shock, and more. Participants will review safety data sheets (SDSs), the personal protective equipment (PPE) required for welding work, and applicable supervisory requirements. Specific course topics include the following:
Welding definitions
Welding hazards and risks
Hazard evaluation
SDSs
General safety guidelines regarding welding
Specific industry terms discussed throughout the course include the following:
OSHA
SDS
PPE
descriptionWelding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is usually used on metals and thermoplastics but can also be used on wood.This intermediate online safety course for Welding and Hotwork will acquaint you with the risks, safe work practises, and control procedures associated with welding operations, enabling you to do your job safely. This training complies with OSHA's welding requirements and promotes safe welding practises.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
Failure to pass quizzes and the final exam will result in being locked out of this online training program, but the learner can repurchase and start back from the beginning.
Upon completing this Welding/Hot Work For Construction and the accompanying survey, you will receive an OSHA card from the provider of this OSHA training on behalf of the Department of Labor.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING TO RECEIVE YOUR DOL CARD
