New York State (NYS) Department of Transportation (DOT) test for welder certification.

Through this certification, welders meet the requirements of the NYS Steel Construction Manual to work on NYSDOT projects, including bridge welding. Individuals interested in taking the DOT test should be proficient welders in the vertical and overhead positions using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process, and E7018 electrodes.

There are two types of tests. One is in the 3G vertical up position, and the other is in the 4G overhead position. They both use 1-inch-thick plate with backing using E7018 welding rod that is either 1/8” or 5/32” diameter. Welders have a time limit of four hours to complete the weld.

Welders must bring their own safety gear and welding rod.  The welding rod must be E7018 either 1/8” or 5/32”. 

This highly interactive 1-day workshop offers practical skills to deliver specific and actionable feedback while aligning your coaching style to meet employees where they are. Tailored for experienced people leaders, during the session, you will learn the Situational-Behavior-Impact model—a simple feedback mechanism for providing positive and constructive feedback. You will discover the power of using “feedforward” and the A-S-K framework to Assess and Align with the coachee, Set Goals, and Keep Track of progress to sustain long-term behavior change. This will be a “put it into practice” – so expect to participate, role-play, and strengthen your best practices in a safe and fun setting.

Basic Lab course covers a review of basic chemistry principles on pH, alkalinity, chlorine residuals, treatment and water quality regulations. Workshop covers water quality topics on disinfection and public notification. Water Treatment Operators Grade IA / IIA are required to complete a 0.5 CEU Basic Lab course every 3 years.

This session applies math principles water operators use in the treatment and distribution systems as chemical dosages, flows, detention times and pressure.

This session reviews the Total Coliform rule, sample collection, preparing Health Reports, Public Notifications, and a review of water quality disinfection practices to microorganism.
