Successful work as an electric and gas welder implies strict performance of job duties, the list of which is set out in the instructions.

Ignorance professional requirements, lack of necessary skills, and lack of discipline in complying with regulatory rules exclude working as an electric welder.

All welders must have a minimum of knowledge about the essence of physical and chemical transformations when welding parts, safe work rules, principles of equipment operation, properties of the materials used, fundamentals of technology and electrical engineering. The main responsibilities are written down in the job description.

Each welding specialist, regardless of the level of qualification, is obliged to:

• carry out all types of preparatory and main work in strict accordance with the manual welding plan;
• provide quality results;
• competently plan the volume of work performed and the optimal timing for its completion;
• participate, taking into account the specific characteristics of the profession, in process improvement;
• correctly place orders for all necessary materials;
• comply with regulatory welding regimes;
• analyze the results;
• follow job instructions.

The specialty of an electric welder implies the presence of a certain general educational and personal level in the employee. This activity has always been and will be prestigious, in demand, promising and well paid.

The required amount of skills and knowledge is set out in the job descriptions of each specific electric welder at a specific production.

First and second ranks

This profession has several categories. Most often there is a need for the services of electric and gas welders. Using manual welding, they connect parts in an arc, plasma, argon-arc, or gas working space. The resulting seams must withstand mechanical, vibration and other types of loads.

The level of skill and the content of job descriptions differ depending on the category of workers: minimum - first to maximum - sixth.

The very first rank is usually occupied by students. They do not yet occupy any professional position, they have only acquired the skills of making elementary seams in the lower plane by hand welding.

All types of work by novice electric welders are carried out under the guidance of mature masters. There are no great demands placed on the quality of the resulting suture joints.

When receiving the second category, an electric welder must demonstrate manual welding skills in both the horizontal and vertical planes.

This can be done by a graduate of a special school. The job description of a manual welder of the second category does not include the need for a hermetic connection of pipes.

Third and fourth ranks

A successful graduate after studying can apply for a third category even if he has no work experience. The equipment and technology of welding production must be fully mastered by the electric welder.

The job description in this case includes several responsibilities:

A specialist with the fourth category is able to weld seams of medium complexity in any position, except for ceiling joints. The job description includes the responsibility of manufacturing, if necessary, complex figured products.

Fifth and sixth rank

An electric welder who has confirmed his qualifications of the fifth category can perform manual welding of complex seams on especially important parts, pipelines prepared for operation under high pressure, and steam pipelines.

The highest possible degree of skill can be demonstrated by a specialist with the sixth category of electric welder.

The job description requires him to perform manual welding of the most complex seam joints on any pipelines, parts, and equipment. Such a master can leave a personal mark on the product after work.

Any professional skills, especially the skills and knowledge of an electric welder, must be regularly confirmed. For this purpose, certification activities are intended, which are carried out in accordance with the job descriptions of each employee performing manual welding.

Welders over 18 years of age are allowed to take traditional certifications for assignment and confirmation of rank. They must have at least 6 months of work experience in their chosen specialty after graduating from college or special educational courses.

Welding Committee Certifications

The job descriptions of a manual electric welder are determined by the level of his professional training.

In addition to the traditional system of assigning qualification categories, an electric welder can be certified by specialists authorized by the national profile committee and receive one of four possible levels.

This type of control is an additional confirmation of professionalism in manual welding, expands the range of opportunities and responsibilities, and allows the employee to compete more successfully in the labor market.

An applicant for each level must have a certain document of education, without which admission to the test is impossible. To pass the first level exam, you must have complete or at least incomplete secondary education.

An electric welder with a secondary general or technical education, as well as a diploma of higher technical education, can apply for the second level.

The third level of certification can be obtained by a specialist with a document of higher technical education or secondary technical education in the specialty “welding production”.

The maximum possible fourth level after successfully passing the certification exam can only be obtained by a specialist with a higher technical education in the field of welding production.

Manual arc and electric arc welding is a method of joining metal elements using thermal melting of the joints of the product with a special hand tools. This technology is used in all areas that require working with metal - in the construction of buildings and bridges, in the laying of pipes and heating mains, in the energy sector, in the automotive and shipbuilding industries, in the production and repair of any large or small metal products. Even in art and sculpture, welding technologies are often used. Lately, argon arc welding has become increasingly popular, making it possible to work with low-alloy and stainless steels, cast iron and non-ferrous metals: copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, silver, etc.

A specialist who carries out welding work is called a welder. This profession, depending on the welding technique and the tools used to fuse metals, is divided into several specializations:

• manual arc welder (electric welder);
• gas welder (gas-electric welder);
• argon arc welder (electric argon welder);
• automatic welding machine operator, etc.

The welding profession owes its origin to the Russian electrical physicist Vasily Petrov, who in 1802 discovered the effect of the electric arc, which creates high temperature between two carbon electrodes, although this discovery did not immediately find practical application in industry. But after just a few decades, the electric arc method of joining steels and metals made a real revolution and began to be used everywhere in industry and construction. This effect made it possible to melt the joints of metals for their simultaneous connection using a weld.

Skills and specifics of work of an electric welder

Due to the high demand for welding work in any field, specialists in the field of manual welding do not experience difficulties finding work. However, this profession requires high responsibility, a serious approach and the desire to perform work at the highest level. The quality of welding seams is one of the decisive conditions for strength, reliability, durability and safety metal structures, so the cost of mistakes here is especially high. Any shortcomings, negligence and connivance in work can lead to serious and even catastrophic consequences, especially if we're talking about on the construction of buildings and bridges, welding of oil and gas pipelines, mechanical engineering.

Therefore, a professional welder must know not only the technology for performing a certain welding method and methods for testing welds, but also have a good knowledge base about the physics of thermal processes, electrical engineering, chemical, physical and thermal properties of various metals and alloys. In addition, it is extremely important to know welding and fire safety techniques. For narrower specializations, it is necessary to study the properties of active and inert gases used for anti-oxidation, to master the methods and principles of operation of tools, argon-arc and electric-arc equipment used for welding.

Among personal qualities, it is important to note high responsibility, attention to detail, good vision, a certain perfectionism and desire to improve one’s skills, readiness for physical activity, the ability to quickly respond to emergency situations, serious attitude to safety precautions and strict compliance with the smallest requirements. This work is classified as dangerous, and it is these qualities that will help you not only perform your tasks efficiently, but also protect yourself and others from serious harm to your health and life.

Job description of a welder

This means that an electric welder needs to take advanced training courses and obtain a higher professional rank in order to achieve an increase in his value in the labor market. For work with oil and gas pipelines, which is limited to specialists with the highest qualifications, separate training is often required. The higher the professional rank of a welder, the more professional opportunities and advantages he has.

• 3rd categoryassigned to a welder immediately after completing training. This level implies knowledge of basic types of welding and practical skills in performing simple welding work - usually manual and arc.
• 5th categoryallows you to weld complex components and parts, as well as elements under pressure, work with multi-position equipment and weld vacuum-tight joints.
• 6th category- an indicator of the highest class and skill of welding, allows you to work with parts and welding techniques of any complexity, including work on gas and oil pipelines.

Advantages of being a welder:

• High demand for the profession in various industries and regions;
• The opportunity to find a job even without experience - young specialists are willingly hired immediately after training in the housing and communal services sector;
• In the case of highly qualified welding specialists, we are talking not just about demand, but about an acute shortage of professionals in the market;
• As of May 18, 2014, 1,161 vacancies were registered in Moscow for the request “electric welder”;
• The average salary of a welder in Moscow, according to the Yandex.Work service, is 37,000 rubles, however, the statistics are influenced by the availability of vacancies for one-time work; in reality, the average is higher - approximately 55,000 rubles;
• The oil and gas industry offers the maximum salaries for welders - they can reach 120,000 - 150,000 rubles per month;
• A number of welding specialists are entitled to special pension conditions and additional paid leave.

Disadvantages of being a welder:

• The profession of an electric welder is a dangerous type of work - because the temperature at the tip of the welding electrode can reach 5000 degrees Celsius, which exceeds the melting point of any existing metals.
• Working conditions for a welder can be difficult, especially when working at heights, in extreme conditions or under the influence of various adverse weather factors;
• Due to the strong brightness of the electric arc radiation, welding puts a lot of strain on vision and can provoke the development of electroophthalmic disease. It is necessary to observe all safety and eye protection measures by using a mask with tinted glass;
• Others may arise occupational diseases due to industrial dust entering the respiratory tract (bronchial asthma, pneumoconiosis).

Compensation for harmful working conditions for electric welders - early retirement and additional leave

Due to hazardous and dangerous working conditions, electric welders who work in such conditions at least 80% of the time may be entitled to additional paid leave annually. This right is regulated by article number 117 Labor Code RF. To determine whether working conditions comply with the specified requirements, the enterprise undergoes a special assessment of working conditions (formerly certification). According to the rules, electric welders or electric gas welders working indoors (or other hazardous conditions) are entitled, in addition to the main vacation of 28 calendar days, to an additional vacation of 14 calendar days. At the same time, for welders working on external work, 7 additional calendar days are added to the 28 days of the main vacation.

Federal Law No. 173-FZ “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation” of 2001 defines the right to an early retirement pension when working under difficult, dangerous and harmful working conditions. The list of relevant professions and industries is established in accordance with Lists No. 1 and No. 2, approved by Resolution No. 10 of the USSR Cabinet of Ministers of January 26, 1991.

According to List No. 2, this right is granted to:

• gas cutters;
• electric welders of manual welding and automatic/semi-automatic machines performing welding in a carbon dioxide environment;
• gas-electric welders engaged in manual and semi-automatic welding;
• some other welding specialists.

The right of these specialists to early retirement applies if they were engaged in performing the work specified in the lists for no less than 80% of their working time.

Representatives of these specialties can retire by age 5 years earlier than generally established conditions. Early labor pension due to hazardous work conditions is awarded to: women at 50, A for men - at 55 years old, in the event that they have worked in dangerous/hard conditions for at least 10 and 12.5 years, respectively, and their total insurance experience is at least 20 and 25 years. Electric welders of manual welding and semi-automatic welding are entitled to an early pension without any additional conditions. Automatic/semi-automatic electric welding in an argon environment does not give the right to early retirement according to List No. 2. However, when working in particularly difficult/dangerous conditions, preferential retirement can be established according to List No. 1, if the welder worked in industries included in this list.
