Welding is used extensively and in almost every sector of industry, including automotive, marine, transport, general fabrication and construction. General welders produce components for cars, ships, rail vehicles and metallic containers, and steelwork for bridges, buildings and gantries. Welding is a safety-critical occupation, and every welder takes responsibility for the quality and accuracy of their work.
