About this course
Farm workshops can be an amazingly rewarding place when everything goes to plan, but have you ever undertaken a fabrication project with no hiccups? This short course reinforces the basic skills required to be productive in the workshop whilst also highlighting hazards and risks and how these can be managed by using personal protective equipment and correct procedures.
The course aims to develop knowledge and skills in:
- identifying hazards and assessing risks in the workshop
- the safe use of power tools
- weld preparation processes such as cutting, gauging and grinding
- welding using both manual metal and gas metal arc welding.
