To ensure the safety of workers during Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bar welding, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as welding helmets, flame-resistant clothing, gloves, and steel-toed boots must be worn. Proper ventilation systems, a clutter-free workspace, fire extinguishers, and regular equipment inspection are also necessary. Finally, training and certification for welders on appropriate techniques and safety protocols are essential to promote a safety culture in TMT bar welding operations.

The role welding plays in the use of TMT bars in construction.
Structural integrity: TMT bars often reinforce concrete structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. Welding allows these bars or other structural elements to be connected securely, ensuring the overall integrity and stability of the structure.
Joint strength: welding TMT bars together creates strong and durable joints that can withstand the forces and stresses experienced by the structure, including tension, compression, and shear forces. This is essential for ensuring the structural safety and longevity of the construction.
