The Welding & Cutting Safety: The Complete Masterclass course is a comprehensive professional safety program designed for welders, cutters, brazers, safety officers, HSE managers, construction and shipyard personnel, engineers, project managers, fire watch personnel, emergency responders, occupational health professionals, and professionals responsible for hot work safety. The course provides structured training in welding and cutting hazards, fire and explosion prevention, electrical safety, welding fumes and gases, radiation and burns, PPE selection, equipment inspection, gas-cylinder management, hot work controls, and regulatory compliance. Major processes covered include Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG), Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), oxy-fuel cutting, and plasma arc cutting, with guidance based on recognized frameworks including OSHA requirements, HSE guidance, ISO 45001, AWS safety codes, and international industry practices.
Participants will develop practical knowledge of hazard identification, risk control, welding helmets and filter shades, flame-resistant clothing, respiratory protection, electrical grounding, welding-machine inspections, cable routing, housekeeping, confined-space welding, oxy-fuel equipment, flashback arrestors, regulators, gauges, hoses, and compressed-gas cylinder handling and storage. The training also addresses fire watch responsibilities, hot work permit systems, flammable-material control, local exhaust ventilation, general ventilation, air-quality monitoring, atmospheric testing, purge-dam procedures, and emergency rescue planning. Learners will understand how welding and cutting activities should be planned, inspected, controlled, and monitored to reduce risks from fires, explosions, electric shock, toxic fumes, oxygen deficiency, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, thermal burns, noise, and other workplace hazards.
The course further addresses advanced and specialized welding safety, including process-specific hazards associated with TIG, MIG, and flux-cored welding, underwater welding, and automated and robotic welding systems. Learners examine guarding, interlocks, lockout/tagout, emergency-stop systems, specialized ventilation, and other controls associated with modern welding operations. Through detailed case studies and real-world examples involving a UK offshore platform hot work incident, an Australian mining cylinder explosion, a USA structural fire during hot work, and an Asian shipyard confined-space incident, participants strengthen their ability to recognize failures, identify root causes, and apply corrective and preventive actions. The complete program contains 10 comprehensive modules, progressing from welding and cutting fundamentals through hazards, PPE, equipment preparation, cutting operations, gas systems, hot work permits, ventilation, advanced processes, case studies, expert tips, and final assessment.
About Professional Training Institute (PTI)
