The Cost of Corrosion–Professional Development Courses
Due to the destructive nature of corrosion, failures and damages total more than $1 trillion each year in the U.S. Plasti-Bond is rising up to this challenge by educating our constituents with the knowledge to make the best decisions for their facilities. This core belief in the value of professional development is the primary reason ARC (Accredited, Regulated, and Certified) courses and installation certification programs are offered.
Catastrophic failure caused by the corrosion of electrical conduit can result in:
- Loss of Life
- Electrocution
- Loss/Disruption of Services
- Loss of Data/Business
- Fire
ARC courses are taught by experts in corrosion prevention who focus on real-world use and proper installation of anti-corrosion products. Classes may result in Professional Development Hours, based on successful completion and/or testing. Some classes are available online and may be customized to meet the needs of your company.
