Job Responsibilities
My major responsibility is the abrasive blasting of steel for
construction and maintenence purposes. I have charge of the
hopper, that feeds the abrasive through the hose used for
blasting ,which requires regular maintenence. Filling the hopper
each day along with maintenence takes around a half hour each
day. I also look after and maintain the large compressor that
feeds high pressure air through a hose used alongside the abrasive
to remove corrosion and paint off steel, ready for recoating with
paint. Fueling and daily maintenence checks of the compressor
will take up to half an hour each day also.
I also have my personal blasting and saftey equipment (blast
helmet, air line for fresh air in the helmet, glasses, boots
overalls, gloves) to inspect before I use them each day. All
need to be in good condition due to a high risk of injury if any
of these items fail.
