32、, medium, and large union or non-union facilities. 2.4.2 Occupational Hazards. As is the case in most metalworking industries, the potential for bodily harm and hazardous situations exists. High electrical currents and voltages are used to operate machinery and welding equipment. Machinery for shear
33、ing, forming, and punching various thicknesses of materials is used. Flammable and other compressed gases are used during flame cutting and welding operations. The employee may be in direct contact with heavy sections during lifting and positioning operations. Welders may work in enclosed, restricte
34、d spaces, and at times at high elevations and in awkward positions. An undesirable noise level is sometimes generated during the production process. The welder must take safety precautions, and be safety conscious at all times. STD*AWS EGi-O-ENGL 199b 07842b5 0518177 573 7 2.4.3 Worker Profile. This
