Finishing up the WHMIS course.
The program will expire in a few days so everyone needs to wrap it up and challenge the final exam.
This type of training is very common on the job and is referred to as "compliance training". Usually when you start a job your are required to participate in orientation and training and safety related training, including WHMIS is required by law. Increasingly employers are using web-based training programs. It might not be your preferred way of learning at first but you need to develop your capacity to learn in all manners.
Most jobs, including those in the piping trades, require an sophisticated use of online resources and strategies for information and communications technology.

The next section of the Pipe Trades Handbook is Section 10: Welding. The assignment is intended to guide your reading to familiarize yourself with the information in the PTH and to consider the words and concepts of the trade. We will be doing a practical section of welding once we get the necessary equipment and shop arrangements but in the mean time it is useful to know where some of the technical information is located.
