Question on Qualifying a Welder

Question on Qualifying a Welder

Question on Qualifying a Welder

(OP)
Scenario: a supervisor places an employee on a machine that he has not qualified/tested to the WPS for that machine and he welded on Code vessels that he should not have in error.  Supervisor thought he was qualified to that WPS...found out about a week later that he is not qualified to this process and employee did not say anything or maybe did not realize either.

Is there a provision for qualifying the welder to the WPS after the fact?

Thanks

 

RE: Question on Qualifying a Welder

It has definitely been done in the past. An NCR should be written with the proposed rectification presented to the AI for acceptance. Assuming that the welds were butt welds, propose to RT the first weld made.   

RE: Question on Qualifying a Welder

Yes. Agree with stanweld. This is what a nonconformance program is all
about.
