Industry Code: 89401
The prime activity in this industry is to provide a welding service, rather than a welded product.
Operation Details:
The main activity in this industry is to provide a welding service, most often in the field with portable units during pipeline construction, and for repairs and service on drilling rigs and mobile and stationary equipment, etc.
It is recognized some welding services are conducted in a shop for drive-in/drop off orders for bumper or rack repairs, hitch repairs, minor structural repairs on machinery or equipment, etc. A welding shop may capably fabricate items such as trailer hitches and may carry a small stock of angle iron, and these are acceptable secondary activities in this industry (providing no major design or process welding and manufacturing is conducted as that described under steel fabrication, industry 30100). A welding shop may operate a lathe for incidental work.
Businesses may use welders, machining equipment, trucks, and a shop/warehouse/yard; and may employ welders, laborers, sales/estimators, and office/administrative staff.
All employers in this industry are members of the Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA). Safety associations represent the interests of employers and promote workplace safety through education and other initiatives. Improved workplace safety can result in fewer claims and help lower premiums. A portion of premiums collected is allocated to the association to support these initiatives.
