and
Procedures
WORK
INSTRUCTION
The work instructions are taken from
jobs/projects to be made in the work place.
These are the package of instructions
allocated in the various shops of the
company. These are sets of work instruction
for production and another set for quality
control department. The specific duties and
responsibilities of each department to
implement the program of works and
activities and that are formed in the
contracts and agreement between the
fabrication and the client.
Some of the four reasons why do we keep
records intact and accessible anytime:
▪ Records serve as basis for future reference of
information.
▪ Records and reports can be the basis for turn-over

works in case of leave of absence or shifting.
▪ Records will be the protection should question
arise later.
▪ Records as pre-qualification test for welders,

materials, procedures, processes and NDT for future
referral/review by both parties.
SAFE WORK
PROCEDURES
It is the mandate that anyone
in the company must observe
and follow the work safety.
Safety practices must be
observed in order to meet the
standard production operation
in the shop.
Welding Quality
Standard/ISO
ISO 9003 – A Model for Quality Assurance in Final Inspection and
Test
To ensure the quality, reliability and strength of
weldment, an inspection program of the company is
strictly observed and followed. The fabrication
details is reflected in the plan for the procedure has
been developed based on appropriate codes and
standards. The Welding Procedure Specifications
(WPS) which considered the bible of welders is
always made available. At any time, and is placed in
areas that are accessible to information. The
products that are subjected to inspection must be
included in the quality program of the production so
that it will be easier to monitor and evaluate the flow
of operation.
Welding Codes
and
Standards/ISO
The selection of codes and standard to be used
maybe based upon several factors, including the
following:
 Many government agencies (local, state, federal) require that
a specification code or standard should be followed.
 The manufacturers consider cost and reliability; that is, a

stricter standard is applied to the weld made, the cost of the
weld necessarily increases.
 The code and standard used is considered standard and the

industry has been use for sometime.
 The fitness of the service weld requirement as established

through testing.
Agencies that issue codes and
standard and each give the specific
tolerance.
o American Bureau of Shipping
o American Petroleum Institute
o American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME)
o American Society for Testing
Materials (ASTM)
o American Welding Society (AWS)
Communication
Process
Production managers, supervisors
and quality inspectors are the
communicators of workers. Simple,
concise and clear instructions will
have to promote better understanding
on the part of the workers. This is
possible through the issuance of
Office Memorandum, letter of
instructions, work procedures,
observation and inspection reports as
a routine communication process.

Some of the pre-qualification
testing that has to be done. These
are pre-qualifications of welders,
procedures, materials, welding
positions and welding processes.
These activities will have to be
recorded and documented for the
formulation of future welding
procedure specifications (WPS).
Certifying Companies/Agencies
ISO 9001 is an International Standard for Quality Management
Systems (QMS) issued by the International Organizations for
Standardization. ISO is an internationally recognized series of
quality system standard that provides quality management
guidance, and identify generic quality system elements necessary
to achieve quality assurance.
 Has been widely used in commercial transactions whereby

suppliers and buyers agree on very clear guidelines for achieving
consistent product quality and customer satisfaction.
 Seventy-four (74) countries adapted these International

Standards.
 Used as framework for continuous improvement.

ISO Agencies in the Philippines
 Bureau of Products and Standards (National
Accrediting Body)
 Certification no. series PNS 1000/ISO 9000
Workplace Visitation/Observation
Company visitation and observation tour in the welding
production is at routine works that the group of persons is doing
periodically. The company may invite guest and customer for job
promotions and for future investment.
Another form of visitation and observations are team of
inspectors. The purpose of the visit is to assess the general update of
the standard inspection operations in the workplace. These officials,
includes owners, Government representatives, productions and in-
house inspectors.
Record Maintenance
Keeping of records and documents in the welding
production is essential. There’s no such production
of welds without a system of recordings because it’s
hard for the company to attract acceptance from the
customers. The complete recording and updating for
processes in the workplace must always be a part in
favor for the client approval.
Most codes used by the manufacturer’s requires
a binding agreement between the contractors and
the client. The welding qualification testing
document must be intact and accessible any time
for future reference as the works progresses in the
shop.
Communication Process
Workers in the workplace must learn the
communication requirements adopted by the
company. There are basic informations and
messages commonly applied from one office to
another, familiarity with the verbal and written
instructions coming from co-workers and from the
authorities.
The Management will provide desirable places in

posting informations and communications for
conveying workers to comply of any task(s) relative
to productions, procedures and processes. Safety
signs must be posted in places accessible to read to
avoid injuries and accidents..

Requirements
Company manuals and procedure
manuals
are the documents that provide all

information regarding the company
operations. These documents include the
abstract presentation of the sites,
buildings, facilities, products, and quality
procedures.
Quality standard manuals and the
Inspection record manuals
are of separate documents that are kept in the
quality control department. All information and
guidelines pertaining to the quality is in the
manuals. The inspection record manuals are
specific instructions for all inspections activities.
These include material records, inspection
records, processes involved and the various
sample forms of inspection reports. These
inspection reports of all finished products are
registered in the manual of inspection for
purposes
Quality Assurance Principles
Quality assurance is a statement that

also referred to the process of products
that is quality assured. This will be
possible in producing products that
passed through a qualified or certified
process and in compliance with the
standard requirements.
