The Importance Of Taking A Boiler Training

Training results in the protection of workers at the workplace. It is a matter of life and death when it comes to occupational health and safety. Boiler operators in Australia must be trained to meet the Australian Standard AS2593-2004. You must take an advanced boiler training course to achieve that standard. This standard sets out the specifications for boiler service, including unattended, restricted attendance, and fully attended boilers. For boilers operating in unattended or restricted attendance modes, it requires special features inside the power, management, and supervision systems, as well as related valves and fittings, housing, and installation. It also specifies the conditions for inspecting, evaluating, and maintaining each group of attendance.



Many boiler companies have a program that teaches students how to operate an unattended boiler safely and effectively. Depending on the client's skill set and specifications, these courses usually last 1-2 days. A one-day course is suitable for people who are technically inclined and have a good understanding of pressure, temperature, and chemical terms. The two-day course is designed for people with minimal technical skills and aims to teach students how to safely operate the boiler while adhering to AS2593-2004 standards. On-site training is available, and each student receives a set of course notes as well as a Certificate of Attendance upon completion.


A boiler training program usually teaches the following aspects.

  • What is steam and how does a boiler operate

  • The concept of a qualified individual, as well as the specifications of AS2593-2004

  • Boiler implementation risks and recommended PPE

  • Important boiler mounts, fittings and their operations

  • Examine facility boilers and visually recognize control items

  • Boiler feedwater system, definitions and specifications

  • Boiler feedwater procedure, chemicals and running tests

  • Boiler regulate, combustion, burner maintenance and system interlocks

  • Boiler checking and record keeping on a regular and weekly basis

  • Requirements for starting and stopping a boiler

  • Maintenance of boilers, documentation, boiler files, and logbooks

Boiler training courses are very important for ensuring the safety of the technician as well as the clients. A technician can only get a license to work at a boiler company if they have taken a proper certified boiler training course.
