This is a one day course and is designed to show the correct practices needed to work safely with and around hydraulics. Designed as either an excellent induction course for someone new to the industry or a superb safety course for people who are not primarily hydraulic or fluid power technicians but work from time to time on machinery containing hydraulic components.
The day contains video presentation examples of safe working practices involving associated dangers of fluid injection injuries and examples of hose being manufactured from the raw components. A high quality personalised course book, certification of attendance and registration on the BFPA national data base, give both the attendee and employer confidence that the correct methods and culture are being adopted and used.
