Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.

In this course, we will go through a 5 minute daily reset workout together with our instructor.

This course emphasises the importance of preserving water, addressing the challenges of freshwater scarcity and pollution, and taking action to secure this invaluable resource for future generations. It highlights the multifaceted value of water, including its role in sustaining ecosystems, agriculture, industry, and human well-being.

The course discusses the factors contributing to water scarcity and stress, such as population growth, urbanization, climate change, and inefficient water management practices. It emphasizes the need to protect water sources and ecosystems through measures like watershed conservation, reforestation, and responsible land use. Efficient water use and conservation practices, including water-efficient technologies and education campaigns, are promoted to address water scarcity. Collaboration and effective governance at all levels are emphasized, along with the inclusion of marginalized groups and indigenous communities in water management plans. Technological innovations for water sustainability, addressing water pollution, adapting to climate change, and ensuring equitable access to water are also discussed. The course concludes by urging collective action and responsible choices to preserve water for the well-being of humanity and the planet.

We all have a need for connection. We are social animals and can feel isolated and alone without meaningful connections to others. This is especially true for seafarers who spend months away from family and friends. The isolation of life at sea can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression, in fact, studies have shown seafarers have a higher risk of developing mental health problems than the general population.

Loneliness is not the same as being alone, we can feel lonely even when we're surrounded by people. In this course, we will learn more about what is loneliness and how we can rediscover connectedness.

Water is essential for your body to function. It helps flush toxins, regulate body temperature, lubricate the joints, digestion, and keep organs functioning properly. It can also benefit weight loss combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.

In this course, we will discuss the link between water consumption and weight loss and explain whether drinking more water can help you shed unwanted pounds.

Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body. They are the building blocks of our muscles, bones, skin, and blood. We need protein to maintain a robust immune system, repair damage and build new tissue, and muscle. Unfortunately, our bodies cannot store protein. Any excess protein intake will be stored as fat.

In this lesson, we will learn more about sources of protein.

Hytorc provide fundamental courses in flange work.
An important aspect of our operation is rooted in courses and training in flange work and bolted connections. We have been involved in the development of courses since OLF started their Gasslekasjeprosjekt (Gas-leakage project) in 2003, up until the updated requirements per NS-EN 1591-4 as of today.

Content:

The industries requirements in regards to training has provided improvements in the form of decrease in amounts of leakages both offshore and onshore. The executive operator gains better understanding and enhanced competence which further results in a safer work environment.

The fundamental course in flange work spans over 4 days, covering both theoretical- and practical training. Examination on both the theoretical and practical work will be conducted. Upon successful completion of the exams, a course certificate will be awarded. This certificate is valid for 5 years. To extend the validation of the certificate, a one-day refresher course must be completed before the expiration date of the certificate (within 5 years).
The refresher course prolongs the validity of the certificate for another 5 years upon completion.

The primary goal of the course is to provide necessary and required training which enables the individual to conduct independent work on flanges and bolted connections.

The course offers the attendees fundamental knowledge, inter alia:

-          Flanges

-          Clamps

-          Bolts and lubrication

-          Gaskets

-          Work Procedures

-          Understanding and safe use of hydraulic tools, torque wrench and equipment

-          Associated documents

The course is set up on request.

With COVID-19 meaning that home working is no longer an option but a necessity for many, what are the potential side effects on our health and work performance. Employers may need to provide additional training to ensure appropriate supervision and work behaviours. These include remote technology, communication skills development, time management and ergonomics.

Managing remote teams and business continuity are operational priorities for companies during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Remote working allows some operations to continue and facilitate flexible work schedules, which typically improves individual performance. However, greater flexibility and leading teams remotely puts a greater burden on managers and makes supervision more complex. 

The group of workers who experience most difficulty in handling ‘boundary-less’ working are actually managers.  This is mainly because they are connected longer in their ‘non-working time’.

The ‘Managing Remote Teams’ bundle includes 3 months access to 10 online courses and over 10 hours of eLearning.

NEK 405-2-3 Technical condition assessment of electrical installations in housing (year-round and holiday homes) upon disposal

The purpose of the technical condition assessment is to inform the buyer about the condition of the electrical system, including dangers, and what it will cost to bring the electrical system into regulatory compliance. An assessment must also be made of the installation parts that have a short remaining life, as well as an assessment of the installation's capacities.

NEK EN 405-2-3 is made from NK219. It is a national standard that is part of the standard series NEK 405 Competence for control companies and personnel.

The course is exam-oriented for those who wish to become certified.

Objective:

The purpose of the standard is to facilitate the preparation of high-quality condition reports in order to obtain a reassuring basis of information before a home purchase, related to the electrical installation. Something that can reduce the level of conflict in housing sales.
