Physical Demands:
Physical duties may vary depending on the specific tasks and processes involved in the welding operation. Here are some physical duties that a welder may typically encounter, along with push-pull limits:
1. Lifting and carrying: Welders may need to lift and carry metal components, welding equipment, or tools weighing up to 50 pounds (22.7 kilograms) or more, depending on the specific requirements of the job. Push-pull limits for lifting and carrying should generally adhere to ergonomic guidelines to prevent strain or injury. Push-pull limits may vary based on individual capabilities and safety regulations but typically fall within a range of 50 to 100 pounds.
2. Standing and bending: Welders often work in a standing position for extended periods, requiring endurance and stamina. Bending, stooping, and kneeling may also be necessary to access workpieces or perform welding tasks. Push-pull limits for standing and bending should consider ergonomic principles to minimize fatigue and strain on the body.
3. Manipulating welding equipment: Welders must manipulate welding equipment such as torches, welding guns, and welding rods with precision and control. Push-pull limits for manipulating welding equipment should be within a range that allows for comfortable and safe operation without excessive strain on the hands, arms, or shoulders.
4. Pushing and pulling welding carts or workpieces: Welders may need to push or pull welding carts, workpieces, or fixtures into position for welding or transportation within the manufacturing facility. Push-pull limits for these tasks should consider the weight of the objects being moved and the ergonomic principles of safe manual handling.
5. Using hand and power tools: Welders often use hand and power tools such as grinders, clamps, and hammers to prepare materials, assemble components, or finish welded surfaces. Push-pull limits for using hand and power tools should align with ergonomic guidelines to prevent repetitive strain injuries or musculoskeletal disorders.
Benefits:
- Competitive pay, 80-hours of PTO after first 90-days, paid holidays.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Company paid life insurance.
