ISCO Specialization 7212.3.4 Spot Welder
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
Spot Welder: Spot welders set up and tend spot welding machines designed to press and join metal workpieces together. The metal resistance to the passage of electrical current and the subsequent heat created in the process allows for the local melting and joining of the parts.
