How Steel Handrail Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely

Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes—so safety is a top priority. Before starting, I assess the surroundings, identify potential fire risks, protect nearby surfaces, and ensure safe pedestrian access. I set up barriers or shields as needed to keep the work contained and safe.

I wear full PPE including helmet, gloves, jacket and eye protection. A fire extinguisher is always on hand, and cables are managed to avoid trip hazards. If weather or conditions are unsafe (e.g. strong wind or rain), I will reschedule or find alternative solutions.
