RAIL TOOLS TRAINING

Course Information

Almost every business and trade will rely on some type of power tool or small plant machinery – and the rail industry is no different. Though these tools are often lighter and easier to handle than heavy units, it’s important to know how to use them safely and correctly. That’s why we offer railway small tools training, here at ASL Safety & Training.

Candidates will be shown how to operate and use power tools that are used within the rail industry. This could be anything from drills to rail saws, wrenches, abrasive wheels, and more.

We schedule this course monthly publicly or we can arrange training for groups at  our purpose built Dublin site, making it more convenient for you. Just give us a call on 01 5312455  and let us know when suits you best, and we will do everything we can to arrange training for then.
