Fastener Safety Training

If you work in the manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), aviation or automotive industry, then nuts and bolts are involved in the majority of your systems and affect the processes that occur in your workplace on a daily basis. Bolts and fasteners play an intricate part in your operations and in essence, play a significant role in the system’s functionality and safety. The equipment or system may also be products you sell to customers or utilize in the services you render to your clients.

To ensure that the company’s safety department is handling the equipment and system procedures properly, or if the company would like a refresher training class on fastener safety, then you should consider getting professional help from GT Technical Consultants. As a fastening consulting firm with decades of experience in actual field application and failure analysis in various industries, we offer custom training classes on properly specifying, assembly techniques and reusing fasteners.

To determine if your company needs training on fasteners, check the requirements in the list below:

  • You have a large budget for nuts and bolts and don’t know where they are being used or why.
  • You want to offer your customers a value-added service on your products.
  • Parts fail in the field.
  • Production line stops due to bolts breaking.
  • Customers complain.
  • Sales people only take orders and do not sell on applications or product benefits.
  • Purchasing orders the incorrect products.
  • TV crew from 20/20 is waiting for you in your office.

The average maintenance person does not need to spend hours on useless basics. With the help of GT Technical Consultants, it will become easier for your company to identify the bolts and fasteners, as well as learn how to determine the cause of any mishaps involving these parts.
