Welding, Cutting and Brazing Safety
The Welding, Cutting, and Brazing Safety course provides essential training on safe practices for welding, cutting, and brazing operations. It covers hazard identification, protective measures, and equipment safety to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations in these high-risk activities.
What is the Welding, Cutting and Brazing Safety?
The Welding, Cutting, and Brazing Safety course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training on the hazards, controls, and safe work practices for welding, cutting, brazing, and soldering operations per OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Q (Welding, Cutting, and Brazing) for general industry and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart J for construction. Welding operations generate a unique combination of hazards: fire from sparks and molten metal, toxic fumes from base metals and coatings, arc radiation (UV and IR), electric shock from arc welding equipment, compressed gas hazards from cylinders, and explosion risk in flammable atmospheres. Hot work (welding, cutting, brazing, grinding) is the leading cause of industrial fires.
The curriculum covers oxy-fuel cutting and welding (cylinder handling, regulator safety, hose management, flashback arrestors, backfire and flashback), arc welding processes (SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW) and their electrical hazards, fire prevention (the 35-foot rule, combustible clearance, fire watch duration, hot work permits), ventilation for fume control (natural, mechanical, local exhaust), welding fume health hazards (hexavalent chromium, manganese, zinc oxide, cadmium, lead), welding in confined spaces (ventilation, atmospheric monitoring, inerting hazards), PPE (welding helmets with appropriate shade, FR clothing, welding gloves, respiratory protection), compressed gas cylinder safety (storage, handling, transport, valve protection), and hot work permit management. All training is delivered 100 percent online through Microsoft Teams and the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS. Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, wallet card, and transcript, employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
Who should take this course?
- Welders and fabricators performing welding, cutting, and brazing operations
- Welding supervisors responsible for hot work safety and permit management
- Safety officers managing hot work programmes and fume exposure
- Fire watch personnel assigned to monitor welding operations
- Maintenance workers who perform occasional welding and cutting
