This Pipe Fitting Fundamentals and Workplace Safety Awareness course consists of 8 structured modules, followed by an assessment and final exam, each addressing a key area of plumbing knowledge and system awareness.
The course begins with basic plumbing, introducing core concepts, terminology, and the purpose of plumbing systems in buildings. Learners then explore hydraulic principles, focusing on pressure, flow, and how fluids behave within pipe systems.
Backflow examines contamination risks, prevention concepts, and why backflow control is essential for protecting water quality. Pathogens focus on hygiene awareness, waterborne risks, and the importance of safe system design and maintenance.
Plumbing fittings introduce common pipe fittings, joints, and connectors, explaining how components are selected and used within systems. Plumbing repairs explore typical plumbing issues and repair awareness, with emphasis on identification and reporting rather than hands-on repair.
