Boiler Operator Training
Are your boiler operators fully qualified?
As the leading British boiler maker, Byworth offers candidates a unique training experience. Experts present theoretical knowledge in a friendly and easy to understand manner, in a comfortable, fully equipped lecture room. This theory is put into practice by hands on experience on the fully operational boiler running at the factory. In addition candidates are given a tour of the manufacturing facility, and are able to view boilers and ancillaries at various stages of manufacture, and hence gain an insight into the topics being studied which no other training provider can offer.
Boiler training takes place at the factory in Keighley, West Yorkshire. However, if your organisation requires a number of candidates to be trained, or specific training on own boiler plant, Byworth can offer training at your site.
Principal benefits of boiler training:
Safety
Ensure that those responsible for day to day boiler operation, or overall management, are fully conversant with the risks, safe procedures and best practice in the boiler house. Satisfy HSE and Insurance Company’s requirement for proof of competence.
Efficiency
Ensure that boilers run at peak performance at all times. Even 0.5% drop in boiler efficiency between services could cost £1000s in excess fuel.
Environment
Ensure compliance with current legislation by learning the correct procedures to minimise emissions.
