Description
Welding and Hot Work can expose workers to serious hazards in seconds, including burns, toxic fumes, electric shock, fires, and explosions. This course helps learners recognize the conditions that make hot work dangerous and reinforces the everyday habits that help prevent injuries before the job begins. Learners build the awareness and judgment needed to spot unsafe conditions, speak up when something feels off, and make safer decisions around welding, cutting, grinding, and related hot work tasks.
