A lot of fabricators are interested in handheld laser welding but intimidated by safety and compliance requirements. Laser Safety Officers (LSO) are a perfect example.
But, despite the intimidating sounding name, designating an LSO rarely means hiring someone new. In fact, after some straightforward training and setup, an existing employee can often fulfill the responsibilities of an LSO by spending just 1-2 hours a month on upkeep.

Not sure where to start? Check out a full breakdown on LSOs here:

Advance your career with orbital welding training

Orbital welding is a mechanized welding process in which the welding torch (or electrode) travels around a stationary workpiece, creating a high-quality, repeatable weld. This method reduces variability in manual Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) processes and addresses the challenge of achieving uniform, defect-free welds consistently.

The Orbital Edge Workforce Accelerator, delivered in partnership with Liburdi Dimetrics and International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 128, is a 3-day training designed to give you hands on experience with orbital welding - at no cost!

Upcoming sessions begin in November at our CWB Centre of Innovation in Milton, ON. See available dates and eligibility requirements and apply today at ➡️ https://www.cwbgroup.org/orbital-edge-workforce-accelerator

Laser welds can be certified to code – and fabricators are already doing it.
Certifying a laser welding process – whether to AWS D1.6 or ASME BPVC Section IX – follows the same basic framework as it does with arc welding, but with a few key differences.

From laser-specific terminology to critical settings on your laser welding machine, this guide covers what you need to know to get started.

CSA W47.2 Fusion Welding of Aluminum

The Canadian Standards Association sets the criteria for Standard W47.2. Based on the type of work to be undertaken a company may be certified for Fusion Welding of Aluminum in one of three Divisions. Companies who wish to be certified under this standard are required to qualify their Welding Supervisors and their Welding Engineers, submit for review and approval their Company's Welding Procedures and qualify their Welding personnel (welders or operators).
