A calibrated tool in untrained hands still produces a wrong joint. Most torque failures on a mine site are not instrument failures: they are a wrench used at the wrong end of its range, a multiplier reaction arm placed against the wrong thing, a sequence worked out of order, or a tool left set at load in a toolbox for a month.
Modules
| Module | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Torque setting | Why a torque figure exists, reading a specification, setting and verifying, the effect of lubrication and friction on the result |
| Job analysis | Choosing the right tool for the joint, working within a tool’s usable range, planning sequence on a flange or a large fastener pattern |
| Operation | Correct technique for hydraulic, pneumatic, electric and manual tooling, reaction points, hose and coupling discipline |
| Safety | Pinch and crush points, stored energy, pressure, the failure modes that actually injure people on bolting work |
| Hazard recognition | Spotting a damaged tool, a compromised reaction point or an unsafe set-up before it is used |
| Maintenance | First-line care, storage, what to do with a tool that has been dropped or is reading oddly, when to hand it in |
Delivered on site, on your tools
Training happens at your operation with the tooling your crews will go back to using. Generic classroom training on equipment nobody will ever touch again is a box-ticking exercise; it does not change what happens on a flange at two in the morning.
Competency is assessed on completion rather than assumed from attendance, and the record goes to you, so training status sits alongside calibration status as something you can evidence.
Common questions
Is training delivered on our site?
Yes, and on your own tooling. The point is that a crew goes back to work with the equipment they just trained on, not a demonstration set.
Do operators get a competency record?
Competency is assessed at the end of the training rather than assumed from attendance, and the record is issued to you.
Which tool types does training cover?
Hydraulic, pneumatic, electric and manual torque tooling. The module mix is set against what your crews actually operate.
