Task A-1 Performs safety-related functions
Task Descriptor
Safety is integral to any and every aspect of the steamfitter/pipefitter trade. Steamfitters/Pipefitters maintain a safe work environment in order to prevent and correct any potential or immediate hazard, address an incident or accident, and follow up to ensure the safety and wellness of every person on the work site. The use and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety equipment are essential to every job. It is also very important to be proficient in the use of safety documentation. Lock-out of equipment and piping is important before working on systems to prevent spills, property damage, personal injury and fatalities. Each steamfitter/pipefitter is responsible for their own lock-out and tag-out equipment.

They ensure the systems are assembled correctly by following drawings, regulations and specifications, and participating in quality control practices.
Steamfitters/Pipefitters use drawings and specifications to determine scope of work, and materials and methods to be used for specific installations. Drawings are also used to communicate detailed construction information such as dimensions, materials used and joining methods, which are used in the layout and fabrication of fittings such as mitres and branch connections. Steamfitters/Pipefitters also use drawings to develop templates.
It is very important for steamfitters/pipefitters to develop a strong understanding of labour costs, material costs, and efficiencies in their work. To maintain productivity, lifelong learning is crucial in this trade. Being able to keep “the big picture” in mind, while paying close attention to detail and maintaining a commitment to safe work practices, is an important ability for career success.
Steamfitters/Pipefitters must develop the ability to continuously do quality control checks to ensure compliance with specifications and regulatory requirements.
