Students from the Automotive Collision Repair, Automotive Technology and Welding & Metal Fabrication programs recently participated in an oxygen and acetylene training course put on by Maine Oxy and their safety instructor, Mike Covert. The course covered oxygen and acetylene tank handling and proper setup of gauges, hoses, and torches used for cutting, welding, heating and brazing. Mike’s dynamic speaking style was perfect for a presentation in the Sanford Performing Arts Center, which allowed for students to physically distance, making for an informative and safe training environment.
Thank you to Welding Instructor, Adam Hartford, for coordinating the training session and to Brett Williams and Sarah Schnell, SPAC Manager and WSSR-TV Manager, for providing the technology to allow students to see equipment and procedures in detail while still maintaining COVID-19 safety.
