Metals Industries

Metals are commodities without which a modern industrialised economy could not exist. Iron and steel in particular are ubiquitous and are central to meeting basic needs such as housing and mobility.

Basic metal production encompasses the activities of smelting or refining ferrous and precious as well as other non-ferrous metals from ore or scrap, using metallurgic techniques and also comprises the production of metal alloys and super-alloys by adding certain chemical elements to pure metals. The output of smelting and refining, usually in ingot form, is used in rolling, drawing and extruding operations to make products such as plate, sheet, strip, bars, rods, wire, tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, and in molten form to make castings and other basic metal products.

Metal fabrication is physically demanding work. It often involves lifting heavy materials, operating machinery, and working in various positions that can be strenuous on the body. Maintaining good physical health and safety practices is essential in this profession.
