The OSHA Welding, Cutting, and Brazing for Construction Training is designed to provide workers in the construction industry with the necessary awareness-level knowledge to safely perform welding, cutting, and brazing operations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specific regulations and guidelines in place to protect workers from hazards associated with these activities.
The training is intended to familiarize learners with the hazards and risks involved in these operations, such as toxic fumes, burns, electrical hazards, and eye injuries. The training emphasizes the proper selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) like welding helmets, gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Workers are also trained in safe operations, inspection, and maintenance of equipment, including handling, storing gas cylinders, and correctly using welding machines and torches. Fire safety measures are covered, such as understanding flammability, using fire extinguishers, and implementing fire watch procedures. Proper ventilation techniques to control exposure to hazardous fumes and gases are taught. The training highlights safe work practices like maintaining a clean work area, securing workpieces, and following proper procedures for equipment operation and storage.
Welding, Cutting, and Brazing are addressed in specific OSHA standards for the general industry (29 CFR 1910 Subparts I, Q, and Z), construction industry (29 CFR 1926 Subparts J and Z), and maritime (29 CFR 1915 Subpart D, I, G, P, and Z).
Please note: This training does not supersede or substitute for any local or state laws, codes, ordinances, regulations, or amendments thereto. This training should only be used as a nonbinding supplement to a jurisdiction’s requirements.

A Final Note
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course, it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer.

Additionally, employers may need to train specific personnel in fire hazards and the appropriate use of firefighting equipment relevant to their operations. Personnel assigned to fire protection during welding, cutting, or heating operations must undergo training to identify fire hazards and know how to effectively utilize firefighting equipment. In cases where standard fire prevention measures are insufficient, additional individuals trained in fire hazards and firefighting equipment must be present to prevent fires.
