Safe Bolting – Principles and Practices

TARGET AUDIENCE: MECHANICAL PERSONNEL AND SUPERVISORS
COURSE CONTENT: SAFETY AND QUALITY AT THE OPERATOR LEVEL
TIME-COST-PLACE: 8-HOURS, $150 PER STUDENT, CUSTOMER SITES

SPECIAL IN-HOUSE SEMINARS

(OSHA Training Institute Course 7011) communicates the latest bolting techniques and approved safety standards, all geared to the first line mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, ironworkers and their immediate supervisors. As an approved OSHA course it fits in with plant Voluntary Protection (VPP) Programs and ensures that workers have been "qualified" to safely perform their complex and often risky work.

This course is designed to be given on-site to groups of 10-15 persons at a time. Sessions last 8 hours and focus on one of three tracks which correspond to the three basic kinds of industrial bolting:

Track 1 – Pressure Vessels and Piping

Track 1 focuses on gasketed flange joints in such industries as:

Oil & Gas
Petro-Chemical
Steam Power Generation

Track 2 – Mechanical Joints

Track 2 deals with machine connections where the goal is alignment and stability of component parts in larger mechanical assemblies. Examples of industries where mechanical joints prevail are :

Wind Power Generation and Construction
Mining
Heavy Equipment
Railroads
Hydro-Electric Generation

Track 3 – Structural Connections

Track 3 treats the principles of long-term joint reliability in such structures as buildings, bridges and towers where joints are permanently assembled under maximum loads. Special emphasis is given to the accountability procedures associated with this safety-centered type of bolting.

Participants will receive a "Bolting Safety Qualified" rating bearing the seals of:

OSHA
HYTORC, and
TEEX (Texas Engineering Extension Service – a unit of Texas A&M University) the leading OSHA training education center which has co-sponsored the course.
