Job Hazards 10-12

Welders are like the ants. Gnawing into the flesh of the ship at a fast pace. Things can get a little hazardous , sparks fly, white hot metal flake burn clothes and skin, damage eyes from the fragments in the air jetting towards you from your own welding to another person next to you. The buddy system works for the human hired from around the asian rim. The buddy system keeps an eye out on being crushed, The common dangers are over looked. Many people begin the day improperly dressed. A shall and sun glasses is a far cry from industry standards for keeping safe.

    Ja ein sehr gefährlicher Ort für Arbeit. Überall Gas und Sauerstoff. Bomben die leicht zünden können.
    Dieser Mann hat aber schon Sicherheitsschuhe und Schutzhandschuhe, so auch eine Schutzbrille.

    No health and safety gear visible here. These welders have to work in the most dangerous situations.
    best wishes,
    Lawson
