Welding

Welding has a presence in multiple industries—naval transportation, aeronautics and rail, to name a few. Welding tends to be a stand-up affair, performed in an environment that can quickly turn punishing because of the emissions released by materials processing, the noise and the high temperatures. Welders find themselves working in awkward postures for long periods and are often required to perform repetitive tasks. The demands of the work and the welding sector in general—and all the musculoskeletal hazards that come with them—call for ergonomic solutions that ensure the health and safety of all.
