Gas Cutting Safety

Gas Cutting Safety Training is an inclusive program designed to ensure the safe operation and handling of oxy-fuel cutting equipment, which is widely applied in industrial, construction, and engineering environments. This training focuses on the identification and control of critical hazards such as fire, explosion, flashbacks, gas leaks, and toxic fumes associated with the use of highly flammable gases like oxygen and acetylene. Participants acquire practical experience with pre-use inspections, safe equipment start up and shutdown, leak detection methods, correct use of flashback arrestors, and proper personal protective equipment (PPE) selection.

Gas Cutting Safety Training

In addition to operational safety, the training emphasizes the need to become a part of permit- to-work (PTW) systems, fire watch procedures, and emergency response procedures. It is meant to improve workplace safety culture and regulatory compliance in industries such as manufacturing, shipbuilding, oil & gas, and heavy engineering. By providing workers, supervisors, and technicians with industry best-practice safety procedures, the course is intended to reduce risks and foster a proactive, safety –first mind set.
