Typical Working Conditions

The majority of work will take place in a manufacturing environment that is subject to extremes in hot and cold.  The work will be proximate to various types of metal cutting and processing equipment with moving parts.   Overhead cranes and gantry cranes are used extensively for moving large parts and assemblies.  Parts and subassemblies are typically large with weights up to 10,000 lbs.  Welding operations occur throughout the plant and caution must be used to anticipate and avoid damage to eyes.  The environment is typically very dusty.  Trip and slip hazards result from the conduct of manufacturing operations.  Constant vigil and a high level of situational awareness must be maintained.   Equipment and certain operations such as grinding and gouging periodically occur which generate high level of noise.  The environment requires personal protective equipment (safety glasses, safety shoes, proper clothing, hearing protection) to worn at all times and certain other protective gear (such as goggles, auto darkening weld helmets, Etc.) to be employed based on the task being performed.
