Training Video Illustrates the Importance of Following Safe Work Practices
ROCKVILLE, Md. — The Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) has released “Avoid the Path: Electric Arc Welding Safety,” a new video that educates workers on safe work practices to help prevent electric shock, burns, eye injuries, respiratory and other health problems, and jobsite fires.
“Electric arc welding is so commonplace in the mechanical construction industry that it’s easy for affected workers to forget about the hazards associated with the electric arc welding process,” said Tom Skaggs, chairman of MCAA’s Safety and Health Committee and vice president – safety for the Murphy Company.
