User:Shipfitter

A Shipfitter is a shipbuilder that constructs large sections of ships, and can also be involved in the ship repair process. Shipfitters work in teams and also with other trades in the construction process. Shipfitters are trained to weld, but the majority of welding is done by welders. The work can be dangerous and is physically demanding. OSHA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration offers solutions to hazards. Unions, such as the Boilermaker Union, represent shipyard workers. The working environment can be inside shops, shipyard, or onboard various ships being built or repaired.
