An industry training course developed at the Ellesmere Port branch of global sealing technology specialist Flexitallic is being rolled out by the company’s Academy of Joint Integrity, for delivery to businesses UK-wide.
Steve Clarkson, Flexitallic’s Hose Technical Support Specialist, has developed the hose management programme to help customers to build capability and competency, which is in line with Energy Institute recommendations.
The new course covers the management, testing and inspection of rubber and composite hoses for use in industry, and can be delivered on-site at customer premises, or at training facilities located in Aberdeen, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire and Humberside.
Utilising bespoke equipment, The Academy of Joint Integrity provides accredited, bespoke practical training to engineers and technicians covering all areas of joint integrity. The programmes are designed to increase competencies to ensure pipeline integrity, keeping your employees and plant safe.
Steve Clarkson said: “The course covers the key elements of the Energy Institute guidance on hose management, ensuring those involved in testing and inspections know what they should be looking for and how to handle these important pieces of industrial equipment. As part of the course we help clients understand training requirements and ensure procedures meet best practice, we can even supply test equipment for use once the course has been completed.”
“Following the success of the initial training, it has been adopted by the group’s training division, The Academy of Joint Integrity, which is fantastic because it means it means more companies across the country can build their capability and competency.”
