Structural welders must meet several physical demands due to the nature of the work:
Strength and Stamina: Ability to lift and carry heavy tools, materials, and equipment (often 50+ lbs). Some lifting may be sustained for long periods.
Manual Dexterity: Excellent hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills to handle welding tools and perform precise welds.
Endurance: Ability to stand, stoop, crouch, kneel, or climb for extended periods.
Flexibility: Must be able to work in various positions, including overhead, vertical, and confined spaces.
Visual Acuity: Good vision (with or without correction) to inspect welds and read blueprints.
Balance and Coordination: Especially important when working at heights or on scaffolding.
Work Locations: Indoor fabrication shop and occasional outdoor work.
Weather Exposure: Must be able to work in extreme weather conditions, including heat, humidity, cold, rain, and wind.
A Fitter Welder operates primarily in a structural steel fabrication shop, with occasional outdoor work, which presents a variety of environmental and physical hazards. The role requires strict adherence to safety protocols and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times.
-
Exposure to high noise levels from cutting, grinding, and welding operations.
-
Frequent presence of dust, fumes, and airborne particles, especially from welding and metal finishing.
-
Variable temperatures due to weather, open bay doors, welding heat, and seasonal changes.
-
Occasional work at elevated heights or in confined spaces during inspections of large assemblies.
-
Risk of cuts, burns, and abrasions from sharp edges, hot surfaces, and welding equipment.
-
Potential for impact injuries from moving steel components, overhead cranes, forklifts, and other heavy machinery.
-
Exposure to welding arcs and UV radiation, requiring proper eye and skin protection.
-
Manual handling of heavy tools and materials, requiring proper lifting techniques and ergonomic awareness.
-
Must wear appropriate PPE including steeltoed boots, safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, and flameresistant clothing.
-
Must be trained in many safety topics including but not limited to hazard communication (HazCom), lockout/tagout (LOTO), fall protection, and confined space entry procedures.
-
Expected to participate in regular safety meetings, audits, and emergency drills.
-
Responsible for reporting unsafe conditions and participating in continuous improvement of shop safety practices.
-
Must obtain OSHA 10 card for jobsite work.
Compliance: Must follow OSHA safety standards and AISC Quality and Welding standards
