Airbag training

Online or in-person | Berlin or in-house | German or English | 1 day

Detonators are used in the manufacture of vehicle airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, which is why state trade supervisory authorities require that skilled workers be trained in the handling of these substances. Every company that works with pyrotechnic articles of category P1 must appoint a “responsible specialist”. This includes, for example, belt tensioners, airbags, battery separators and pedestrian protection devices. During airbag training, the specialist learns how pyrotechnic articles can be stored, transported, used and destroyed. The aim is maximum safety during installation and operation.
