Almost every construction site, manufacturing plant, and industrial factory in New York City relies on welding. Welders across New York City use complicated equipment to join materials, making high-rise buildings and consumer products possible. By its very nature, welding is extremely dangerous. It’s so dangerous that OSHA devoted an entire section to welding safety in their General Safety Regulations.
Most welders train for years before mastering their craft. But when training is inadequate, or proper safety precautions are not taken, welders and their fellow employees are presented with a unique host of hazards.
Injured construction workers deserve appropriate medical treatment and compensation for lost wages. But the Workers Compensation system can fail, letting injured workers fall through the cracks.
After suffering serious injuries, many construction workers turn to the dedicated New York City construction accident law firm. Why? They want to recover with peace of mind, and they know that they deserve compensation. Our lawyers guide NYC’s workers through the legal process with compassion. We demand big results, just like you.

Arc welding, oxyfuel welding, and electric resistance welding rely on high heats and molten materials, necessary components of the welding process that can cause severe burns, electric shock, and the inhalation of poisonous fumes. Some welding techniques, like arc welding, even require workers to be exposed to intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause burns, skin cancer, and decreased immune system response. Related practices, like brazing, soldering, and cutting, present similar hazards. Welding, brazing, soldering, and cutting are undeniably the most dangerous construction occupations. Recent statistics released by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) show that more than “1 in every 250 construction workers will suffer fatal injuries” caused by welding. But most of these deaths aren’t caused by the serious burns that so commonly accompany welding, and with which the technique is so often associated. Welding-related fatalities are more frequently caused by the long-term inhalation of poisonous gases and exposure to extreme amounts of dangerous light.
Because welding presents so many dangers to workers, OSHA has instituted a vast array of safety precautions.
Welding, brazing, soldering, and cutting are advanced skills that require years of training and practice to master.
