Technician wearing safety glasses and protective gloves using a lidded parts cleaning unit in a workshop

Parts cleaning units combine hazardous cleaning products, contaminated components, electricity and, in some cases, flammable vapour.

This UK-focused course explains how to confirm the approved unit and cleaning product, use SDS and COSHH information, control fire and explosion risks, inspect the equipment, clean parts safely and respond to spills, exposure, fire or defects.

Course structure: six lessons followed by a ten-question final assessment. Passing confirms awareness only. It does not approve a substance, prove practical competence or provide employer authorisation for operation, maintenance, fluid change or waste handling.
