According to the Unified Tariff and Qualification Directory of Work and Professions of Workers (ECTS) and its section “Welding Work”, we can verify that, according to paragraph 48, it is correct that the profession is officially called “electric and gas welder”.
The usual confusion in everyday life does not change the essence of the occupation of such a worker, but if the name of the profession of the person hired is entered into the work book differently from what is indicated in the ETKS, then he may lose the benefits entitled to him in the very process of fulfilling his duties. job responsibilities(they won’t give you milk because it’s harmful, they’ll restrict you from wearing special clothing, etc.), and besides this, problems may arise with early retirement, which is due to electric and gas welders, but not to gas and electric welders.
So, when obtaining a profession and subsequently the corresponding qualification certificate, carefully ensure that the specialty you received is indicated correctly in the documents - “electric and gas welder” with an indication of the qualification category.
what is the difference between a gas-electric welder and an electric-gas welder and which of them is entitled to an early pension. Thank you. Thank you
- These two specialties are absolutely the same. And workers in this specialty are entitled to early retirement. But it happens when a person is denied a preferential pension, citing the fact that the work book says “gas-electric welder”, and the list says “electric-gas welder”. According
To the Ministry of Labor of Russia and the Pension Fund Russian Federation territorial bodies of the pension service and various organizations are receiving requests for the right to preferential pensions under List No. 2 (Section XXXIII) of workers who, according to their labor documents, are listed as gas-electric welders.
“Electric and gas welder” and “Gas and electric welder” are different names of the same profession, therefore workers who are listed as gas and electric welders according to their employment documents can enjoy the right to preferential pensions under List No. 2 (Section XXXIII) as electric and gas welders, i.e. with documentary evidence of their full-time employment in cutting and manual welding, on semi-automatic machines, as well as on automatic machines using fluxes containing hazardous substances of at least hazard class 3.
Deputy Head of the Department for Pensions of the Ministry of Labor and social development Russian Federation A. S. Nazarov
In chapter Personnel department, HR to the question of what is the difference between a gas-electric welder and an electric-gas welder and which of them is entitled to an early pension. Thank you. thanks given by the author Natasha Bondarenko the best answer is No different. It is the same.
According to current legislation, the right to a pension due to special working conditions under Section XXXIII of List No. 2 is enjoyed by electric and gas welders who, in accordance with the ETKS (issue 2), perform work on arc and gas welding (cutting) of metal and metal products.
As practice shows, in many enterprises workers performing these works are mistakenly listed as gas-electric welders according to their labor documents. Inaccurate entries in work books cause the pension service authorities certain difficulties in resolving issues of preferential pension provision for these workers.
“Electric and gas welder9” and “Gas and electric welder9” are different names of the same profession, therefore workers who are listed as gas and electric welders according to their employment documents can enjoy the right to preferential pensions under List No. 2 (Section XXXIII) as electric and gas welders, i.e. with documentary evidence of their employment in for a full working day on cutting and manual welding, on semi-automatic machines, as well as on automatic machines using fluxes containing hazardous substances of at least hazard class 3.
Head of the Pension Security Department of the Executive Directorate of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation A. D. Skvortsov
These two specialties are absolutely the same. And workers in this specialty are entitled to early retirement. But it happens when a person is denied a preferential pension, citing the fact that the work book says “gas-electric welder9”, and the list says “electric-gas welder9”. According
with the law and it is necessary to comply with the law. Much also depends on the work of enterprise personnel services, which make incorrect entries in workers’ work books. Before retiring, these records must and should be corrected to the necessary ones required by our legislation.
According to List No. 2 - electric and gas welder. If the position (profession) is associated with special working conditions, then you need to write it as in the ETKS. And so you will have to prove the identity of the professions.
The labor contract must describe working conditions. Example: “Accepted as a fifth-class electric manual welder” and forward to retirement at 55 years old. Example: “Accepted as an electric welder of manual welding of the fifth category in steel foundries and rolling shops,” welcome to 50. But all this with a fully developed continuous experience, now, like 120 months for men and 90 for women. Don’t judge strictly; if you made a mistake somewhere, check the laws.

Welding categories
Advantages and disadvantages of the profession
The welding profession is in high demand on the market, given the decent level of salaries of professional welders. Significant disadvantages are rather difficult, harmful working conditions, the negative impact of electric arcs on vision, inhalation of harmful gas vapors and dust, leading to asthma, silicosis, and pneumoconiosis.
Who should not work as a welder?
Working welders carry out their activities in hazardous conditions and are equated to the category of increased danger. Persons with cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, vision problems, nervous system, unstable mental health, it is strictly forbidden to work in this specialty. It is also undesirable to work as a welder if you have allergies, osteochondrosis, or radiculitis. After passing a medical examination, citizens with these diseases may be suspended from work.
Perspective
In the future, the profession of a welder involves obtaining professional education, work experience, and advanced training.
The career ladder looks like this: foreman - technician - technologist - engineer - department head - head of the entire enterprise - designer - constructor - chief engineer. The speed of advancement up the career ladder directly depends on the quality of the employee’s work, as well as his personal ambitions.
Profession Electric and gas welder- this is a working specialty, a specialist in this profession welds and cuts various metal products (metal structure units, pipelines, machine parts and mechanisms, etc.).
The main task of an electric gas welder is to weld (connect) or cut various metal structures using a welding machine. For this work, he uses a welding torch, electrodes, tongs, hoses, automatic or semi-automatic welding machines. In terms of the complexity of the work performed, the profession of an electric and gas welder can be compared with the profession.
If you look around, the products and structures welded from metal that surround us on all sides immediately catch your eye. And this indicates that the profession of electric and gas welder is one of the most in demand in all industries.
Welding work in production
A specialist capable of high-quality welding of metal parts will never be left without work. At the same time, he can choose the field of activity that is most interesting to him: mechanical engineering, construction, public utilities, etc.
An electric gas welder is engaged in work related to cutting and welding metal parts of various configurations, cutting blanks from sheet metal, cutting holes different shapes and magnitude. He prepares the parts to be joined for welding using metalworking tools or special power tools, connecting them with ceiling, vertical and horizontal seams, cleaning them afterwards, as well as welding cracks and cavities, cutting metal using automatic and semi-automatic welding equipment.
Where to study to become an Electric and Gas Welder
There are several ways to obtain the profession of an electric and gas welder - by studying at a specialized college or technical school or in special courses for electric and gas welders, which are usually located in special training centers (please note that the name of the course can be either classic - “Electric and gas welder courses” or another , for example, “Argon welder course” or “Gas cutter”). The duration of training is set by specialists teaching at training centers.
