Training todays workforce for tomorrows industry.
Currently, Oak Hill Trades provides training services in coordination with Chaffey College’s InTech Center in Fontana, CA. Through this partnership, a broad variety of subjects, specialties, and in depth training are possible.
Oak Hill Trades has assisted InTech with the development of training curriculum, texts, methods and assessment. This has allowed us to be a part of the leading edge in technician development, both general training and employer-requested topic-specific sessions.
Oak Hill Trades can also provide Federal OSHA 10 and 30 hour training courses.
Entry Level Training Subjects
While performing any task, workers are likely to use both hand and power tools. Knowing what tool is the correct tool and how to use it properly is vital to both worker efficiency and safety.
Safety
A cornerstone of any industrial work environment, workers must be trained and participate in a variety of safety concepts. Oak Hill Trades provides training related to safety, including OSHA 10 and 30 courses.
Hand and Power Tools
Whether facilities- or equipment-related, industrial work sites have fluid systems. These systems often require technicians to install, repair, or replace components such as piping and valves, consisting of many different types, sizes and materials.
Print Reading
Industrial work sites and equipment are built to designs. These designs are laid out in prints. A workers ability to interpret and work with these prints is often a critical aspect in their ability to perform quality maintenance and repairs of the equipment they are responsible for.
Valves and Piping
Pumps and the machines that drive them are critical to any fluid system. The pumps commonly used by industrial systems and their particular operational principles, often determine how a system operates, if it operates at all. Understanding these details allow technicians to better operate, troubleshoot and repair these systems.
Trade Math
An often underappreciated aspect to maintenance, a firm grasp of mathematical principles enhances a workers ability to quickly convert between unit systems, analyze system parameters, troubleshoot operating systems, and calculate materials, loads, and other characteristics important to the work task.
Pumps and Drivers
Fasteners are the seemingly simple devices which hold equipment together. However, the finer details of these devices are often more complex, including size, thread count, thread form, grade, length and many other characteristics. Knowing these details ensures that workers make proper connections and keep parts secure.
Rigging
Some industrial work sites require the movement of materials via overhead or mobile cranes. Rigging is the equipment used to connect heavy loads to the lifting equipment. Ensuring that these arrangements are properly constructed using suitable components is critical to safe lifts, with regards to both worker and equipment.
Fasteners
Mechanical power transmission systems are any system which transfers or converts motion between parts. These systems include components such as bearings, shafts, couplings, belt, chain and gear drives, brakes, and screws. Understanding how the many principles of these systems operate is critical to a technicians maintenance of these systems.
Lubrication
Lubricants reduce friction, machinery noise, wear on parts, and provide cooling. These benefits require the proper lubricant be used and in the appropriate quantity. Knowing the specific properties of a lubricant are just as important as using a lubricant in the first place to ensure machinery operates effectively and efficiently.
Mechanical Power Transmission
Fluid power systems are a unique branch of mechanical systems, using the physics of gasses and liquids to transfer, amplify and control power between sources and actuators. These systems can be complex and consist of a wide variety of components with varying designs, functions and specifications. Understanding these greatly improves a technicians ability to maintain and troubleshoot fluid power systems.
Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems are a staple of many industrial work environments, allowing the simple and efficient transfer of material and goods from one location to another. While these systems consist of more basic components, their specific arrangement and operation determine the specific operation of a conveyor and require system specific understanding to properly maintain.
