As we know, knowledge is a powerful tool and as industry demands more from us all, those with greater knowledge will have an advantage when it comes to competing in an evolving marketplace.
The Australian Welding Academy has developed a short course to assist technical personnel such as designers, engineers, managers and supervisors to understand the Australian and International codes associated with the welding industry.
Our 2 day course will give personnel a basic understanding of the requirements and obligations that need to be met for a business to comply with the Australian and international standards.
What are your legal requirements?
It is essential that professionals in this industry understand the possible implications of not following the requirements of a specified code when designing and manufacturing in this current environment. Failure to follow the code requirements can have legal and insurance implications, and not understanding the requirements is not considered a reasonable defence.
