Training course content.
Table 1: Training course content for spray fireproofing material
Goal of certification: Provide the necessary training to understand the procedures to properly perform application of fireproofing materials (also known as spray fire-resistive materials (SFRM)) in the construction industry as described in ASTM E1513. Participants will learn practical use of SFRMs, tools of the trade, basic work processes, and safe working practices. |
COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: • Identify and discuss potential hazards on the construction site • Define spray fireproofing and explain why it is used • Proper material handling • Identify materials used in fireproofing • Identify common machines used in work processes • Identify pre-set-up planning • Knowing parts of structural member, beams, columns • Proper protective coverings • Describe appropriate methods of clean up • Demonstrate spraying techniques • Demonstrate knowledge of inspection process • Demonstrate hands on understanding |
