About this practice
Apply the skills to fresh scenarios
Practice Test 2 uses a separate set of questions to check whether you can apply the method in new situations rather than memorise earlier answers.
Prepare to manage hot-work hazards, secure gas cylinders, select PPE, clean joints, position the return clamp and recognise defects such as porosity and cracks.
How to use this test
- Complete every question without checking an answer elsewhere.
- Read the reason for every incorrect answer in your result.
- Practise weak skills hands-on with competent supervision.
Core areas for this trade
Hot-work safety
Control combustible materials, sparks, fumes and nearby workers before striking an arc.
PPE and ventilation
Select eye, face, hand and body protection and provide suitable fume control.
Joint preparation
Clean the metal and prepare the joint so contamination and poor fit-up do not weaken the weld.
