This course is designed to demonstrate best practice for safe and effective work both with and around hydraulics. The training is valuable as either an excellent induction course for someone new to the industry, or as a beneficial safety course for people who are not primarily hydraulic or fluid power technicians, but work ad hoc on machinery containing hydraulic components. For either set of delegates, the course addresses the recommended minimum educational requirements for hydraulic machinery operatives, ensuring workers are aware of safe working practices and are confident in deploying their new skills in a real-world working environment.
Our hydraulics training course has a safety-first focus, helping to raise awareness of hazards and avoid accidents and injuries occurring. However, the course also offers a broader introduction to hydraulics from accurate symbol and component identification through to contamination prevention measures. These measures can be implemented to negate the risks associated with contaminants entering hydraulic systems.
- Basic hydraulic principles
- Equipment and schematics
- Contamination prevention and filters
- System components, pumps, valves and accumulators
