Enerpac has moved its training sessions online so that responsible companies in construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, materials handling, mining, oil and gas, power generation, water, wastewater and other industries can still keep their safety knowledge up to date during COVID-19.

“Many industrial companies are performing essential tasks and continuing to work, and others are adapting rapidly to a changing environment. Whichever the case, we’d like to make our safety training sessions readily available for all. They are typically conducted onsite for the convenience of the customer, but hosting them online makes the most sense right now,” says Enerpac channel and product leader, Australasia, Andrew Marsh.

“Enerpac has a global ‘Goal Zero’ initiative that aims for zero harm to employees, customers and end users of both Enerpac and other-brand hydraulic machinery. These safety training courses are an important way of achieving Goal Zero by training staff on safety best-practices with hydraulic tools.”

The ‘practical, down-to-earth’ safety training development courses will use real-world examples and cover topics such as:

· Tool inspections and correct workplace usage guidance

· Maintenance and storage practices that optimise safety and uptime

· Spotlighting potentially dangerous practices unique to high pressure hydraulic tools

· Extending tool life and increasing productivity

Enerpac Territory Manager, South Australia and Northern Territory, Karl Gautam, says the online courses are a great way for companies to get a head-start on safety initiatives, before a potential post-COVID-19 boom in activity.

“Once everything is back up and running, companies are going to be busy, but safety is always a priority onsite. Now is the ideal time to refresh and expand hydraulic tool safety knowledge in preparation for busier days ahead,” said Gautam.

The courses are open to anyone who uses or supervises the use of hydraulic tools, including tool users; supervisors; inspectors; safety managers; project and site engineers; maintenance shutdown engineers; administration and management staff concerned with risk assessment and management; training and development managers.
