Hands-on Lubrication Basics is a practical, workshop-style course designed to give participants the essential skills needed to carry out everyday lubrication tasks correctly. This course focuses on the real-world activities that influence lubrication effectiveness, including lubricant storage, dispensing, grease application, oil top-ups, contamination prevention, basic inspections, and simple field checks. It is designed for people who physically handle lubricants, apply lubricants, or inspect lubricated equipment. The emphasis is on practical understanding: what to do, why it matters, and how small mistakes in lubrication can lead to major reliability problems. By the end of the course, participants will understand how to perform basic lubrication tasks safely and correctly. They will be able to recognise common lubrication problems, reduce contamination risks, and apply better day-to-day practices that improve equipment reliability.
