The correct design and implementation of welds and welded connections is fundamental to ensuring safety and minimising risk on steel structures. As stakeholders in the process whether as designers, specifiers or certifiers, you need to understand your duty of care and responsibilities around the imperatives of:

• Designing fit-for-purpose safe structures
• Informing yourself of Best Practice approaches to both design and implementation

Seminar value

This seminar is a must for:

• Structural designers who need a fundamental understanding of weld and welded connection design
• Structural designers who are required to attend project workshop and site inspections and sign off on quality outcomes
• Specifiers and certifiers who need to both specify and recognise quality welding outcomes
• Stakeholders who are involved in welding quality outcomes and need to be better informed to satisfy their obligations for duty of care under WHS regulations

Bonus insights

Learn about the upcoming revisions to AS 4100 and AS/NZS 5131 and how they reinforce the compliance mandate.
