Our non-accredited course combines an innovative learning style with real-life practical experience to maximise learning outcomes. With our extensive knowledge and experience in hot work, this one-day course provides you with everything you need to know about Safe Cutting and Welding at Mines and Petroleum Sites.
Our new and updated course has been developed with reference to the Technical Reference Guide: Hot work (cutting and welding) at mines and petroleum sites produced by NSW Resources Regulator in 2021. This technical reference guide provides information to manage risks to health and safety of people where hot work activities are being carried out on a mine or petroleum site.
