Senior Welding Inspector General Theory (Situations) - QP-S1 ‘You are an SWI who has taken over from an SWI who has been on site for a few months. It becomes obvious that there is a complete lack of morale amongst your inspectors but they do not approach you to discuss any grievance. What would be your approach to the situation? ‘You are an SWI responsible for a team of welding inspectors who have been on-site for {wo months. “A welding inspector who has been on site for only one week informs you that the contractor has approached him with an offer of money in return for “turning a blind eye" when certain welding work is being performed. Discuss your possible course of action, You are the SWI working on behalf of a client on project to build an offshore platform. You discover that one of the welding inspectors, supplied from a different agency, who has been on the site for one week, does not hold a valid welding inspector approval. State the actions that you would take. You are the SWI on a pipeline project. The radiographic interpreter informs you that he believes that the same weld has been radiographed with different weld numbers on a snumber of occasions and the radiographs have been submitted. What action do you take? ‘You are the SWI who is required to visita factory where a number of pressure vessels have just been manufactured and inspected by your inspection team. The client requires the vessels to be signed off by you What questions do you ask, what information do you require and what random checks (if any) do you make before signing off? You visit a fabrication company as an SWI on behalf of a client and you discover in a welder's electrode quiver a number of incorrect electrodes among the correct ones which are very different to those specified for the item being welded. The welder states that he only uses the correct electrodes. State your course of action.
