Safety Responsibilities

• Ensure all welding and hardfacing activities comply with company safety policies, OSHA guidelines, and ISO safety standards.
• Enforce safe handling, storage, and usage of welding equipment, gases, and consumables.
• Ensure correct use of PPE for welders (helmet, gloves, FR clothing, safety boots, face shield).
• Conduct regular safety audits of welding booths, gas cylinders, electrical connections, and extraction systems.
• Implement and monitor safety protocols for high-temperature operations, Stellite handling, and PTA/TIG hardfacing.
• Ensure proper ventilation and fume extraction for cobalt‑based alloy (Stellite) welding to prevent exposure hazards.
• Provide safety training and toolbox talks related to welding hazards (arc flash, fumes, burns, fire, electrical risks).
• Participate in risk assessments, HIRA/JSA, and incident investigations.
• Ensure compliance with lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures for welding machines and rotating equipment.
