Pipe Welding Skills and Principles in Industrial Safety

Building on the Advanced Welding Technology Certificate, Pipe Welding Skills and Principles in Industrial Safety combines practical application with industrial safety. Besides becoming proficient in pipe welding in all positions on a wide range of pipe sizes in a variety of environments, students learn multiple methods to cut, bevel, and prepare pipe for welding. Students gain the necessary skills and have the opportunity to certify in three separate ASME Pipe Welding 6G Certifications ranging from 2-inch to 6-inch pipe in the GTAW and SMAW processes. Additionally, students receive information and training on how to identify, abate, avoid, and prevent work-related hazards on a job site, as well as information about their rights as employees and employer responsibilities.  Based on OSHA CFR 1910 guidelines, the training covers a variety of general industry safety and health hazards that a worker may encounter. The course emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention.  (Prerequisites: Advanced Welding Technology Certificate, Industrial Mechanics Certificate or PO)
