HYTORC Bolting Institute

HYTORC has a goal to educate all those engaged in industrial bolting in the principles and practices that significantly improve safety, quality, and efficiency of bolting operations. We regularly conduct training classes that are designed for a variety of job functions ranging from operators and technicians to managers and engineers. Classes range from a few hours to a few days and can be customized to meet your schedule and specific application focus. In most cases we bring the class to you in order to make training as convenient and economical as possible. HBI offers free courses in Bolting Basics and Basic Operation and Safety and formal fee-based training with certificates from ASME* and OSHA*.

OSHA Courses

Bolted joints are an essential part of virtually every industrial process. The proper assembly of these essential connections puts technicians "up close and personal" with powerful tools, extreme forces, hazardous materials, elevated temperatures and pressures. Perhaps no other maintenance activity demands a greater degree of safety awareness and basic "best practices" training. This course will:

Lower the risk of bolting related incidents such as equipment failures and environmental impacts
Involve students with classroom and "hands on" tool handling
Provide information compatible with latest ASME standards
Promote safety, quality, and efficiency

ASME Courses

In cooperation with ASME Training and Development, the bolting experts at HYTORC present two definitive courses on bolting principles and practices. The bolted joint assembly principles course will train and test bolting personnel at the supervisory level on the technological and practical problems of assembling bolted joints in large scale industrial applications. The qualified bolting specialist course is designed to train and evaluate key lead bolting personnel to inspect, assemble, disassemble and tighten bolted joints in an effective and safe manner with minimal supervision.

VPPPA

HYTORC is an active member of the VPPPA (Voluntary Protection Programs Participant’s Association) to further our mission of safety in the workplace. We participate in the annual VPPPA Safety conference and collaborate with members to continue to pursue safety education and training. We offer OSHA courses on Safe Bolting Practices and Principles on a regular basis to help member companies build comprehensive safety training programs.
