When need for welding operations standby persons?

Standby persons are required during welding operations primarily for safety reasons. They help monitor the work area for potential hazards, such as fire or toxic fumes, and are trained to assist in emergencies, including providing first aid or using fire extinguishers. Their presence ensures quick response to any incidents, enhancing the safety of both the welder and surrounding personnel. Additionally, they can assist in managing equipment and materials to maintain a safe working environment.
