50 years of partnership between a man and a welding machine
22 juni 2016
In the 1960s, there was a huge shortage of professional welders in Finnish growth centers. That is why Keijo Olkoniemi, whose career as a welder has lasted for almost 50 years, trained to become a welder, a profession which has offered him challenges throughout his career. ”I remember when they said at the dockyard in Hietaniemi, Helsinki that you can bring a train full of skillful employees, and we will hire them all,” Olkoniemi says, laughing.

Säkerhet som anpassas efter svetsarens utmaningar och varierande risker
Svetssäkerheten ställer allt större krav. Riskerna vid ljusbågen är desamma, men moderna arbetsförhållanden innebär att exponering kan lagras under längre arbetspass och i begränsade inomhusutrymmen. Följaktligen måste personlig skyddsutrustning för svetsning betraktas både som ett skydd för svetsaren och som ett bevis på att kraven uppfylls. Hos Kemppi utformas och valideras personlig skyddsutrustning för svetsning i praktiken genom tydliga krav, synpunkter från svetsare samt verifierad överensstämmelse med EU:s förordning 2016/425 om personlig skyddsutrustning, CE-märkningsprocesser och relevanta EN-standarder.
