...interested in. Hyperbaric Welding (Underwater welding). Hyperbaric welding is the process of welding at elevated pressures, normally underwater. I’m interested in this type of job because I love being in the water and welding looks fun and interesting to me. Think of something underwater that you can’t bring to the surface to weld it; well, that’s what underwater welders are for. If you need something welded underwater, and you don’t know how to underwater weld, but you know how to weld, well, sorry to tell you, but it takes a little more skill to do it underwater. To learn more about the career of underwater welder, it is important to understand the history, how to get the job, the basic job description, and what type of person would be good at this job.

...The Art of Welding Welding is defined as the process of joining together metal pieces or parts by heating the surfaces to the point of melting using a blowtorch, electric arc, or other means, and putting them together by pressing or hammering. Welding is more of an art rather than a skill. It takes a special person to be able to completely master the art. Skills that a welder would need to have would be a very detail-orientated mind set. (Welding Basics) anyone can weld, but nobody is going to pay someone to weld something together crappily. The reason I am doing my research on welding is because I want to figure out if this is what I would like to do the rest of my life. I only have minor experience with welding. But, the experience I have had so far has been fun and exciting. Most of the work I have done with welding has involved my cars which is most likely the biggest reason that I have become so interested in this field of study. I have figured out that training for welding workers can range from a few weeks of school or on-the-job training for low-skilled positions, to several years of combined school and on-the-job training for highly skilled jobs. Training is available in high schools, and other types of institutions such as technical institutes, community colleges, and private welding schools. The Armed Forces have welding schools as well. (Jeffus,153) While some employers provide basic training, they prefer to hire workers with experience or more formal training...

...Welding and Radiology are to totally different fields of education, but they are the ones that intrigue me the most. People often give me strange looks when I tell them going to school for welding, then later on in life, I’m going back to school to be a Radiology Technologist. Welding can be a one or two year course depending if you want to expand into the robotics side of welding. If you want to just learn about welding, then you only have to take the one year course of welding. The starting pay for most welding jobs is pretty basic, especially right out of high school. But, with more experience, the potential to earn two or three times that amount is definitely there. And making $100,000 or more isn’t out of the question. But only if you...

...Welding Before I start my essay I’d like to briefly go over the history of welding. Welding can trace its historic development back to ancient times. The earliest examples come from the Bronze Age. Small gold circular boxes were made by pressure welding lap joints together. It is estimated that these boxes were made more than 2000 years ago. During the Iron Age the Egyptians and people in the eastern Mediterranean area learned to weld pieces of iron together. Many tools were found which were made approximately 1000 B.C. (“History of Welding”). During the Middle Ages, the art of blacksmithing was developed and many items of iron were produced which were welded by hammering. It was not until the 19th century that welding, as we know it today...

...point in 2006, Stropki looked back on his company’s more than 100 years in the welding equipment and consumables industry with pride, wondering whether a strong push into India should be the next step in his company’s globalization. An India expansion had been considered for several years, but thus far the company had focused on growing its operations in China and elsewhere around the globe. If Stropki were to approve a significant allocation of resources toward an India expansion, he wondered what would be the best way to enter. He had a wealth of company lessons and experiences to apply to the India investment decision, as his company had had international operations since the 1940s, had struggled internationally in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and had gone on to regain its global competitive advantage in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During Stropki’s tenure as CEO since 2004, the company had further expanded globally and by 2006 owned manufacturing operations in 19 countries across five continents. Most recently, the company had enjoyed increasing success in China as a result of its aggressive expansion through both a joint venture and set of majority-owned plants. As Stropki opened the Cleveland newspaper to check the previous Sunday’s Cleveland Browns score, he wondered how he could apply the lessons of the Chinese experience in particular, to India.

...WELDING TECHNICIAN I always loved doing activities with my hands, crafting different items out of raw materials. I remember when I took woodshop and welding class at high school and I enjoyed how I had the opportunity to create and sculpt items. That’s why I feel becoming a welding technician would be great for me. Welders are needed all over the world, its like you have endless work . Welders are in high demand they‘re need for everything when it comes to manufacturing. It just sounds like everything i'm looking for in a career. The reason I chose this profession was because I’m a hands on kind of guy. I like to get my hands dirty. Ever since I was a little kid, I was always dismantling things around the house. I stayed in trouble with my mom. As I become older, I started to notice that I was pretty good with my hands. My mom was always asking me to repair things around the house, like the dvd player or the lawn mower or just odd jobs around the house. But what really interested me in the welding job was my welding class. I had a teacher named Mr. Green who taught us the safety procedures, proper clothing to wear and welding using the basic methods. I found the class very interesting, We created tables, chairs, and a barbeque pit and even statues from raw metals. This class really made me want to become welding technician. Based on my personality assessment from type focus, my personality type is “introversion, intuition, thinking and perceiving”. This...

...Don’t you hate when you have books on the shelf and they start to tumble over after you take one out? The solution to this is a bookend, it’s usually a metal piece that has been welded together, seeing those things that help us in everyday life made me think about me wanting to help make things that I know people will use everyday. Many wonder what welding is and how it works. According to Mary Bonk “ welding is the process of heating and melting metal parts to join them together”. (Bonk,3) Anything made of metal no matter the size can most likely be welded. Examples of welding is everywhere from the cars,trucks, and the motorcycles we drive. Bridges and highways would be impossible to build without welding. I’m interested in...

...Victoria Gribble Network Administrator & Payroll Clerk S & S Welding, Inc. 22131 68Th Ave South; P.O. Box 1505 Kent, WA 98035-1505 Dear Victoria Gribble: I’m writing in response to your welder fabricator apprenticeship opportunity listed in an S & S advertisement. The opportunity is of interest to me as a means for furthering my career and education in the welding field. My current education include classes in advance welding and metal sculpture all of which all involve TIG, MIG, and Torch, I am skilled in all 3, and I can work well in a team environment or independently. My most recent work experience was as a deep water Lifeguard at a popular theme park. This job demanded that I stay focused and alert because the lives of many depended on the attention me and my co-workers paid to assure that lives were not at risk. I learned that communication was ultimately important when it came to teamwork. Being able to effectively communicate with other team members was a skill beyond what was demanded of me physically to assure that all life safety elements were properly in place. I can see that this skill would also be important for a welding apprenticeship position. As a volunteer I have worked in supervisory capacities with young children. This experience called upon my ability to effectively communicate as well as to problem solve. Assuring that the needs of all children were met often required negotiation and compromise. My intention was to problem...

...Running Head: RISK ASSESSMENT PLAN Risk Assessment Plan Therese Kress MGT. 401 Hazardous Materials Management Instructor Stephen Griffith October 6th, 2014 RISK ASSESSMENT PLAN Risk Assessment Plan Holding the position of ‘Risk Manager” can be a daunting task. Their role is to advise their company of any potential risks that might exist within the organization, its employees, customers, and even its reputation. A risk managers job tasks depend on the industry in which they work in, and the level at which they are working at. Their major job duties are to identify and assess hazards, put safety plans in place, and determine how to avoid, reduce, or eliminate the risks altogether. That is why in the 1970’s the “Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) established three permanent federal agencies to help with accessing such issues. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to set and enforce standards, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to conduct research on workplace hazards, and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) to referee any workplace challenges” (Matthews, P.2011). These three departments were established to set guidelines by which companies both large and small, could follow to minimize the potential risks within the workplace. At my place of employment, Generator Services, we do have a Risk Assessment Plan that observes a safe...

Adaptation – seeks to boost revenues and market share by maximizing a firm’s local relevance Requires local autonomy but must trade off the gains from such decentralization against the costs of excessive heterogeneity and local subgoals 2. Aggregation – attempts to deliver economies of scale by creating regional or sometimes global operations (standardizing the product or service offering and grouping together the development and production processes) Requires global coordination but must trade off the efficiency gains of standardization and scale or scope economies against costs of always being perceived as an outsider or cost minimizer 3. Arbitrage – the exploitation of differences between national or regional markets, often by locating separate parts of the supply chain in different places Requires flexibility and the management of a complex network of internal and external relationships for continuous learning, but must trade off benefits from such dynamism against costs of being perceived as fickle, rootless...
