Occupational health hazards of welding workers: Piping Industry Perspective
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
The ergonomic safety standards are focused on the interaction between welders and the welding activities. Welders who perform the welding tasks under heat stress always experience with various types of injuries such as MSD, CTD, low back pain, skin burns, eyes pain and others. It influences the concentration in their welding task because of the injuries suffers. The study conducted at DEE PIPING SYSTEM Ltd. for the ergonomic safety in the welding workshop. The study aimed at enhancing the safety awareness of users in the welding workshop. The lack of knowledge on ergonomic safety concepts affects the performance of the welders in their works. The study briefs various postural analyses in welding activities. The observation method approach has been used. The welding safety awareness checklist has been used to expose the safety precaution, and to provide suggestions for the work improvement. The various safety issues have been observed that must be taken care of such as the hazards precaution, personal protective equipment, workstation, etc. The welding postures must be improved as most of the postures posed were out of the safe range. The recommendations have been made to introduce the ergonomics concept so that users may practice healthier life, and avoid injuries while performing welding in welding workshop
