Program Overview
Welding and gas cutting are among the most widely practiced industrial processes in the world — essential in construction, shipbuilding, manufacturing, oil & gas, and maintenance operations. They are also among the most hazardous activities in any industrial environment, involving open flames, electric arcs, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, toxic fumes, compressed gases, and extreme heat. ICLM's Welding and Gas Cutting Safety Training provides a comprehensive safety program covering both the technical and health and safety dimensions of welding and cutting operations across all processes.
Welding and cutting operations present an exceptional range of simultaneous hazards. Fire and explosion from hot work in proximity to flammables. Electric shock from faulty equipment or wet conditions. Radiation burns to eyes and skin from arc flash and UV exposure. Toxic fume inhalation from base metal coatings, electrode consumables, and shielding gases. And the long-term occupational health risks of chronic fume exposure including lung disease, metal fume fever, and manganism.
