Online Training
As a component of its molten metal safety leadership, the Aluminum Association released a 40-minute online training module titled “Fundamentals of Casthouse Safety” for educational use. This training was developed from a presentation on the topic originally given at the 2017 ALUMINUM USA trade show.
This module is designed to provide an introduction to the principles of aluminum casting safety for individuals not involved directly in the casting process and/or to provide an accessible refresher in the interim between in-person casthouse safety workshop training sessions. Its availability is accompanied by a companion worksheet that can be used to validate comprehension of the material presented.
