Description

This class is the certification class for the Metal Shop at Make Salt Lake. In order to use the tools provided in Make Salt Lake's Metal Shop, all members must take and pass this class. The focus of the class will be on safety, PPE (personal protective equipment), proper use and care of the tools, and will be geared towards people who already have general knowledge of Metal Shop tools and procedure. The certification will provide information on proper safety but will include minimal instruction. It will not train you to use the tools, but it will certify you to use the cutters and grinders and the flux core welder. It is designed to test members on their ability to practice proper safety techniques. Following the safety certification, optional MIG welding certification will be provided. After brief instruction and demonstration, members will be able to access the MIG welding machine.
