Industry Standards in Metal Fabrication
To protect welders during the metal fabrication process there are industry standards that need to be followed. The American Welding Society (AWS) is a great resource that has written over 350 standards for welding practices and procedures. These codes set the best practices for welding and review important safety and health facts. Read more here: Free Resources | Standards & Publications - Access Essential Welding Standards
