Precision metal fabrication is a hugely important process in today’s industrial world, but one that carries with it a number of risks. After all, the very principle of welding means that high levels of heat and electricity that you’ll want to be very careful working with. At 4 Way Metal, we take the safety of our workers extremely seriously, and create high-quality finishes each time as a result.

Precision metal fabrication is an incredibly useful process – as long as workers are watching out for…

• Electricity - Electric tools add speed, accuracy and convenience to the fabrication process, however it also exposes the workers to a potentially dangerous factor. Making absolutely certain that there are no issues with wiring or grounded parts, as they are a serious health concern for workers.
• Fumes - Fumes can be created when working with substances such as lead or arsenic, and need to be properly observed at all times. Fumes can both cause fires and create respiratory problems for workers. While these materials are necessary for high-quality precision metal fabrication, they also must only be used in environments where they cannot cause lasting harm to workers.
• Improper Safety Gear - Wearing safety gear, and properly observing all company regulations is a crucial aspect of avoiding fabrication accidents. It is possible to circumvent nearly all accidents with a bit of caution and foresight, and this often comes down to proper training and readiness for work with precision metal fabrication.

The potential risks associated with these welding processes are the primary reason that the process is so often outsourced to a company like 4 Way Metal. For us, worker safety and customer service are two of the most important elements of our business, which, we are proud to say, results in high-quality finishes reliably and consistently.
